The choices tend to create more questions. I remember often thinking, "What does the teacher mean by that?" We think about detai... |

| That would require legislative action, or legal if you can show good documentation and credible witnesses. Most of the stories will be hard to prove; it's fairly common knowledge that abuses have happened but records credibility is still a huge problem in determining what happened to who and when. ... |
