Senate advances bill to expel students who commit sexual violence at school – Capitol News IL

The bill was filed last year after an incident in Taylorville where a 10-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by a 14-year-old male student on the bus, who then chased the girl from the bus stop and raped her. The student was removed from the school for the rest of the semester but later returned. State Sen. Steve McClure said similar incidents have happened in other districts, including an assault on a 4-year-old girl by a 15-year-old boy in western Illinois. The issue, he said, is that state law lacks clear guidelines on what schools should do with sexual assault situations.

So put them back on the street with nothing to do and no education. What could go wrong? Does jailtime ever enter the equation?

State Senator Karina Villa, (D-West Chicago), calls expelling student rapists “punitive ways to attack our children.” Why??

So where’s a bill that fires teachers, support & janitorial staff for preying on students?
