As proven tonight by the GRISD school board, students colluding together can accuse a teacher of having sex with them and get the teacher banned from even volunteering at GRISD. Chayce Wilson and Matt Brooks have proven that their unproven accusations (even called fabricated by a TEXAS JUDGE (yes a Judge, look it up if you don't believe me)) can blacklist a teacher, in this case Joelle Ogletree, at GRISD. The GRISD board is completely dependent (almost ignorantly willful to follow his lead) upon Wayne Rotan to even dispute her being able to volunteer giving the following reasons which I will gladly take a shot at:
1. Allegations - these were proven 0 by a JUDGE in a court with witnesses and lawyers. The fact that these are still being used as a crutch is pretty lame, even for a super making 100k+ a year! If you read what the TEXAS JUDGE wrote:
'the conclusion that all of Chayce’s allegations were fabricated'
C. Allegations of Matt B.
As with Chayce’s allegations of sexual misconduct by Ms. Ogletree, Matt’s range from implausible to impossible. The ALJ concludes none of alleged incidents occurred. Likewise, neither Matt’s claims regarding Ms. Ogletree’s general behavior nor his description of the atmosphere of her classroom are supported in the evidence.
2. Sleepover - I don't think teachers should have sleepovers anyway but this is not a reason to keep someone from being a volunteer, more of an excuse to hold against them. Any other teachers (or volunteers) ever kept from doing their duties because of a sleepover?
3. Encoded Notes - Anyone who has read the transcript of the case knows that these were dismissed as boys wishful thinking. Someone should read the 'findings of fact' sections 50-53:
50. Ms. Ogletree wrote Matt three notes with coded meanings.
51. Ms. Ogletree never wrote Matt a note containing a message with sexual meaning or innuendo.
52. Ms. Ogletree never explained the coded meanings to Matt.
53. Each of the three coded notes was written by Ms. Ogletree in the open; she did not try to hide anything from the class.
4. The I never game - This was addressed in the ALJ hearing as well, maybe some folks should read the 'findings of fact', sections 54-57:
54. Ms. Ogletree’s French class played the “I’ve Never” game once, and possibly twice, while Matt and Chayce were her students.
55. The “I’ve Never” game was played at the end of a six weeks’ test.
56. Ms. Ogletree never used profanity or made sexual innuendos during the “I’ve Never” game.
57. Ms. Ogletree did not allow sexually oriented conduct during the game.
5. Charged/Indicted - this is pretty much the same as the first...she was never convicted.
6. Pending litigation she has against school - this would be considered Retaliation, the thing she kept reminding you that you are not allowed to do but are doing anyway by making this one of the reasons. Sure there is a rule against doing it against teachers but doing against potential volunteers should be a given in the spirit of the rule.
7. GRISD was given Notice about her - this was 1 in the past while she was under investigation but since the charges were dropped and her teaching certificate ISSUED then there is no more notice so this can no longer be used as an excuse.
8. She visited her daughter at school 53 times - since when does this disqualify you to be a volunteer? Sure you are making the point that she sees her daughter at school but she wants to volunteer at the school and how many times she visits her daughter there should have NO bearing on if she can volunteer or not.
Now that we have, in one night, knocked out all of the things the GRISD (under Wayne Rotan's control) is using to stop the former graduate of GRHS from volunteering there, let's get back to the real prescedent that Wayne and the GRISD have set tonight....the power of the liars in the schools.
The school board is telling every teen who wants to get rid of a teacher to just work together with others and accuse him or her of having sex with you and the others. If you lie there are NO consequences (right Matt and Chayce? Did anyone at GRISD or the law ever punish you for lying?) other than everyone in town knowing you are a liar except those whom you have convinced. The door is WIDE OPEN now for students at GRISD to claim sexual assault by ganging up and doing it in pairs, it has worked quite effectively in this case. It's simple and works like this...
Figure out a way for you to be alone with the teacher with no cameras. You and a friend both accuse the same teacher at different times of the day and in similar situations with similar wording so it looks like a pattern. Ok now once you guys have your stories straight you start spreading rumors in classes that you are sleeping with teacher X but make sure the anal teachers can hear it (you know who they are) so they go running to Rotan to pluck the child molester from the class. After he fires them with no reason other than accusations just refuse to show up in court like Chayce or use an excuse why you can't go...and have the best liar like Matt just go and put on a good old show! It doesn't matter if the judge believes him or not...it only matters that Wayne Rotan believe him because he drives the board and they do EVERYTHING he recommends including not allowing Ogletree to be a volunteer. And that is how you can get a teacher at GRISD blacklisted from even being allowed to be a volunteer.
