1) First comes the accusations/ allegations.

2) At this point it is appropriate for the school board to take action-- suspend the teacher.

3) You reasonably know they cannot let her back in the school until she passes the "test for pedophilia" or the "trial", as I would call it.

4) Next comes the trials/courts, "test for pedophilia" (whatever you wish to call it). But then there is a mistrial...what is the school supposed to do? A small town divided...how many parents would keep their children in that school if Joelle was back? The school would lose students, respect, etc. Bad for their business, bad for their reputation!

5) They still don't know with 100% certainty what's going on. BUT, They knew she was inappropriate in the sense of the secret notes/ sleepover/ personal relationships with students outside of the school. So they chose not to renew her contract. How is this wrong? Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? They keep their school, they keep their students, they keep their respect. Why would you expect them do do anything else?

6) She was inappropriate, maybe or maybe not in as a pedophile, but as a teacher with a half a brain.... So why should they keep her?

7) Then the teacher has a law suit against the school, yeah well....if you were a business man would you hire an employee back who has a pending lawsuit against you??

....I didn't think so

Well first off, it seems of popular opinion that the state didn't "rule" anything and this was a mistrial. Secondly even if the state did rule she had not been inappropriate, this would be irrelevant. The state does not choose who the school hires or fires. The school can fire a teacher based on their own reasons, you don't have to be a convicted pedofile to get fired from a job.

Her appointment wasn't at 4:00?

Her apppointment wasn't an hour away?

She had a solid alibi who wasn't Doug for all morning?

You say wrong wrong wrong, so correct me then.

Tell us all to clear this up: who where what and why for the whole school day.

How many times must she prove it to the world? 

I guess as many time as she keeps bringing it back up.  Remember, the trial was 5 years ago........ got the license back.  Story over, go to work and raise your daughters that you are so concerned about.  Years later, lawsuit and Dr. Phil show.  Now she has to to through it all over again. I guarantee you, even if this lawsuit is one, this thing is not over.  She will bring it back up some way, and therefore, have to prove it to the world yet again.
