A small but dangerous contingent of sexual predators
lurks in our nation's classrooms, and the reasons they're allowed to get away with
molesting students are numerous and complex. This series by Post-Gazette staff writers Jane Elizabeth Zemel

activities and discusses how to plug the holes in the system that allows the molesters to
circulate throughout the country.
