Well, we reported about this woman
twice before. As a refresher, Rancho Bernardo
High Assistant Principal Rita Wilson was conducting underwear
inspections at a school dance in order to prevent 'freak dancing'
by making sure everyone's underwear was appropriate. This, of
course, is clear sexual harassment(ironically, she was quoted as
saying "Sexual assault offenses can happen inadvertently or
deliberately at dances. It's my job to provide a safe
environment."), and as a result of myriad complaints, proceedings
were initiated against her and the guidance counselor who was
helping her.
After a while's wait, the results are in, and Rita Wilson
will not be fired. Nope, thanks to a thing called tenure, Rita
will not lose her job in the school district, but will instead be
demoted and offered a teaching position at another school. You see,
tenure prevents teachers from being fired for pretty much anything
short of murder if they have been teaching long enough to acquire
it. Natalie Johnson, the guidance counselor, also has tenure, so
nothing is being done to her either.
Fortunately, Rita is considering refusing her new job, so she
may not be in an authority position at a school anymore anyway.
Unfortunately, that won't be because the school board did the right
thing.
