I heard that he wasn’t coming back to Somers though. (Heard from a student)

The letter from Somers yesterday said he’s been reinstated – coming back is another issues.

so what can this teacher do in order to get his reputation back and to be made whole again????
i remember years ago a teacher in Northern Virginia was accused of sexual abuse and later found to be 100% innocent but his life and career were runied

I think it’s just a misfortune one must deal with, right? Not trying to be flip or uncaring but what can be done about it?
If I had to deal with the dude, and he was cleared, I’d do my best to always keep in mind that he was cleared…but society as a whole doesn’t work that way. Fear…the power of fear is very strong.

It’s right to be careful – after all if they hadn’t done anything about it then we’d be upset about that.
All we can do is hope that if he is 100% innocent of everything then he will be accepted back into the fold.
