Case for defamation, mental anguish?

[Shadowbunny]

There's nothing "inconclusive". There's no evidence in any way shape or form. If they interviewed students, they only ones who would claim I said that are ones who got together and agreed upon a story to make up, but I'm willing to bet every student in the room besides that one told the truth that they didn't hear anything.

So, basically the school that meant the most to me is now no longer an option for me because someone lied about me, and the administration just doesn't want to deal with whatever angry parent they told who believes their kid regardless of the evidence, so they're taking it out on me, and you all think I'm just supposed to get over it.

Or, it's quite possible that this is not the first time you've been unreasonably rigid and they have jumped on this situation as an opportunity to be done with you.

Look, I feel for you. It's horrible to be unfairly accused of something and feel like you've not gotten your due process. But this path that you're going down (wanting someone fired, demanding your "rights", etc, etc) is NOT going to serve you well. And yes. We DO think you should "get over it." Because you don't have any other LEGAL option. And if you keep making a fuss, you may find yourself to be labeled a troublemaker and have problems getting hired at other schools. Is that the outcome you want?

UNFAIRLY labeled a trouble maker of course! When people make a huge deal of a false accusation, demand justice and satisfaction, whether it was that they were accused of hugging and kissing or of making an off color remark, or of whatever, it sometimes means they're special, and somewhat rigid and want everything to be fair. It may also mean they're guilty and are just trying to raise so much hell that no one will question them. It may also mean that people do not like you, and are not positively impressed with you and that you create discomfort in them. And any employer in the country who interviews you and feels uncomfortable about how you will do working for them can elect not to hire you and not to tell you exactly why you were not hired. For your own good, be quiet and get over this or your chances to work in this profession are going to be gone quickly.

I'm not working in this profession. It's a temporary job until I go into programming.

They didn't follow policy though. It states to exclude a substitute from campus, a written evaluation must be submitted, and then I'd have to be notified and given 10 days to respond. None of that was done.

So, if they obviously felt they had no justification to document the incident and I didn't violate any policies, for what reason could they possibly refuse to disclose the reason to me other than there is no valid reason, or it's a discriminatory reason?

I suggest that you take all your information to an attorney and ask what to do.

As far as revenge is concerned, I'm not concerned with that. I've already figured that one out. It's likely my own kids will be attending that school someday, and I'll just make sure those years are the absolute worst of their career. So, that issue is taken care of.

Now there's the response of a mature adult!

Honestly, Jack. Grow up and stop behaving like a child. Really.

 

[JackM678]

In seriousness though, I'm willing to take full ownership if I did anything I shouldn't have done. The problem is, if I did do something they don't consider professional, but still not enough to warrant a report filed to the school district, I'd still like to know what it is so I can avoid doing it again. Why can't they just tell me the truth?

Because no one wants to get into an argument with you over what happened, whether it happened, all your justifications about why what you did or said wasn't inappropriate, and everything that you've been putting us through over the last three pages.

Bluntly, either you need psychiatric help or you are simply an immoral person. Maybe both.

You are not fit to teach.

What you are describing veers into child abuse territory, is incredibly inappropriate and, frankly, disgusting.

You would destroy your children's future that way?

What's there to argue? I didn't say what I was accused of, and all they have to do is ask the students in the class about the conversation and what was actually said in class. There's no ambiguity here.

And you might think your crazy unfitness is something secret inside you, but I'm sure it is plain to any seasoned administrator. No doubt why a wild accusation was given such credulity - it was the perfect reason to axe you.

Schools DO NOT want revenge minded people in their facility.

No, because if they took their dislike for a parent out on the kids, it's them who would be doing that.

huh? That makes no sense. Please restate in comprehensible English...thx.
