Summary
If a teacher gets caught in an investigation—why can they still get hired elsewhere? Welcome to the epidemic of “passing the trash.”
In Part 2, Eric Faddis walks us through the horrifying reality: when allegations surface, many districts quietly let problematic teachers resign under vague terms like “personnel issues.” Because they didn’t file formal complaints or mandate reporting, those red flags vanish. The teacher walks into a new district with a clean résumé and no paper trail.
Research shows that the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) explicitly prohibits rehire of teachers with known abuse records—but almost 40 states have yet to implement related policies.
Eric explains why administrators choose self-preservation over safety and how, in many states, districts are legally allowed to keep misconduct off official records—so long as no criminal charges were filed. Parents aren’t warned, students aren’t protected, and predators stay on the move.
This is how Andrew McGann, the Devils Den suspect, bounced from district to district with no red flag—until tragedy struck.
If you’ve ever wondered how someone like that wasn’t stopped before, this episode lays it bare. Watch, share, and start demanding reform.
