Biden’s Education Department Wants to Roll Back Effort to Catalog Teacher Sex Crimes

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona

Critics say the move is an attempt to appease teachers' unions

The Department of Education wants to roll back a Trump-era effort to collect data on teacher-on-student sex crimes.

The department's Office for Civil Rights will not ask school districts questions regarding teacher-on-student sexual assault allegations as part of its 2021-2022 Civil Rights Data Collection, proposed Thursday. The change is designed to "reduce burden and duplication of data," an Education Department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon. But critics say eliminating the question is the Biden administration's attempt to appease teachers' unions.

"This is the ultimate act of bowing to the teachers' unions," Kimberly Richey, who served as acting assistant secretary in the Office for Civil Rights in the Trump administration, told the Free Beacon. "Through this proposal, the Biden administration is actively helping schools cover up these incidents, which we were intentionally shining a light on."

The Education Department will still ask districts to report documented cases of rape and sexual assault. But it will not ask school officials to report allegations that resulted in the resignation or retirement of the accused. Former secretary of education Betsy DeVos added those optional questions to the 2020-2021 data collection, which was delayed one year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The department also won't ask districts to report pending cases or cases in which a school staffer was reassigned to another district school prior to the conclusion of an investigation.

Public schools' mishandling of sexual assault cases has become a political liability for Democrats across the country. Allegations that school officials in one Northern Virginia school district covered up a double sexual assault case roiled parents just weeks before the gubernatorial election. Teacher-union-backed Democrat Terry McAuliffe lost to Republican Glenn Youngkin by 2 points in the commonwealth, where President Joe Biden handily won by a 10-point margin.

Office for Civil Rights data collected during the Trump administration found that sexual assault and rape cases surged in public schools over the past decade. DeVos added those optional questions to the 2020-2021 data collection after the 2017-2018 survey found that nearly 15,000 allegations of rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault were reported during that school year, according to an October 2020 brief on the statistics.

That data set did not distinguish between teacher-on-student and student-on-student crimes. Reporting alleged sex crimes in addition to documented cases provides a fuller picture of sexual violence in schools, as the accused may retire, resign, or seek employment elsewhere before a district can...

A strict lockdown has been imposed in the Binjari and Rockhole areas in Australia's Northern Territory after nine new Corona cases were registered. The military has been called in to bring in positive cases and their close contacts to a quarantine center.

DARWIN. Prime Minister Michael Gunner said on Sunday that a 78-year-old woman was being treated at the Royal Darwin Hospital and that the remaining eight cases and 38 close contacts have been transferred to the Howard Springs quarantine center.

The Australian Prime Minister has sent 28 Australian Defense Force soldiers and a number of army trucks to the region. People are only allowed to leave their home “for medical treatment, in case of emergency or as required by law”.

Gunner said the lockdown will likely remain in place for several weeks. He added that the vaccination rate in Binjari was low and called on people to get vaccinated against Corona. Unvaccinated travelers have been banned from entering the Northern Territory since Monday.

Curiously, his draconian measures will allow Australians to “move forward with the freedoms that should be theirs”. Gunner warned critics: “If you give a green light, give comfort to, support anybody who argues against the vaccine, you are an anti-vaxxer. Your personal vaccination status is utterly irrelevant.”

The first case is a man in his 40s who had tested negative twice last week while at the Centre for National Resilience, but has since tested positive. He had received one dose of the vaccine.
