I'm incredibly distrustful of the public school system, particularly when it comes to inappropriate sexual contact between teachers and students, as well as covering up sexual assaults, even by other students. It's something I got onto talking about last year, but it's something I've been bothered by a lot longer.
What bothers me even more is when something like this happens in my own backyard.
Lee County, Georgia, is the next county to the north of where I live, and Georgia counties are relatively small. My wife went to high school there, and I went to middle school in that public school system.
One thing they do a little differently is that they have a ninth-grade campus. The reasoning, as I recall, was to sort of protect students from larger, legal adults who were seniors.
Unfortunately, someone should have been protecting them from at least one of the teachers.
The GBI has arrested and charged Danielle Weaver, age 29, of Leesburg, GA, with Child Molestation and Improper Sexual Contact by Employee, Agent, or Foster Parent. On February 4, 2026, the Leesburg Police Department requested the GBI to assist with an investigation into allegations of inappropriate contact between a teacher and a juvenile student at Lee County High School.
On February 3, 2026, Leesburg Police Department officers responded to a request from Lee County High School to investigate the allegations. Investigators identified Weaver as the subject, and identified the victim as a juvenile student at Lee County High School.
...
Weaver was taken into custody on February 18, 2026, at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office without incident. She is currently being held at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Jail.
Reportedly, she was seen kissing and straddling the 15-year-old student in her car after school, and it took two weeks to finally make an arrest, despite there allegedly being video of the incident.
Of course, this is just one of many reports we keep seeing all around the country. Do more teachers know better than to do stuff like this with their students? Absolutely. Most are semi-mentally stable, at least.
But it really does seem like there are an awful lot of teachers out there who don't give a damn about child safety, up to and including molesting kids themselves, all while the radically progressive teachers' unions do literally nothing to stop them.
In fact, they're notorious for helping protect these kinds of people from termination, allowing far too many creeps--those who don't quite get caught in the act that everyone knows they're either engaging in or want to engage in--to quit jobs and move on to other schools where they can do this all over again.
This video is from Texas, where a former student recounts part of how teachers just get moved along, with nary a word about their misdeeds.
In the last four years, I have reported on no fewer than 300 cases of s*xual abuse occurring within Texas public schools. This is only a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of cases of children abused by school staff over decades. Some of these cases were mentioned in… pic.twitter.com/gr348qt3wD

Now, we need to understand that Weaver is innocent until proven guilty, of course, but I've been looking for this arrest for two weeks, just to know there was more than a rumor going around the local area.
Still, these are just allegations.
Yet I still can't ignore the fact that teachers' unions protect too many of these predators. She got caught because the allegations against her, as well as the apparent evidence, were just too much to cover up.
How many others, though, just slipped through the cracks?
Honestly, prison is too good for people who do this kind of thing. There's something really wrong with adult teachers preying on the children they're entrusted to educate.
If anything was going to dissuade me from the idea of arming teachers to combat school shootings, this would be it.
