Male sexual violence and harassment in K-12 schools is now, and always has been, an epidemic.

Our schools have become training grounds where our boys and other students are learning how to abuse their privilege and power. They are getting the message that sexual abuse is not only tolerated—it is venerated.

It is as bad as ever—despite the Me Too and Times Up movements, the implementation of DEI frameworks in K-12 education, and incredibly, despite the 50 year anniversary of the very federal law requiring schools to do something about it.

This is due to the adult privilege in the feminist activist world, and the structural sexism, instituitional indifference, and the use of highly exclusive DEI frameworks which completely avoid discussions of male privilege and sexism in K-12 education.

We are a group of school staff who are digging into one of the deepest, darkest, secrets in education—a near total lack of compliance with the 50 year old federal law known as Title IX, and the catostrophic failure of the systems in K-12 education and Law Enforcement to report and investigate the rampant student on student child sexual abuse happening in our schools.

There are a few local non-profits working HARD on this issue. Their work is absolutely integral, but as educators and school staff, we KNOW that the world of education is inaccessible to outsiders.

We see that these folks might have the best of intentions when it comes to bringing about important changes within our schools, but their impact is very limited, because our leaders are very good at faking actual reform.

Additonally and most importantly—only veteran teachers and counselors with tenure have the ability to speak truth to power to the highly political juggernaut that is K-12 governance in America, which is wildly different from district to district, convoluted, and lacking in oversight.
