1. What is going on with KUSD?? Is nobody looking out for the students, helping teachers get off the hook by hiding teachers or letting them resign instead of being charged??? Thanks for wasting our tax dollars!!!

   1. Don’t blame KUSD….it’s the whole fucking state run school system. They are all kid fuckers. Happy demon month fags!

      2. No, DO blame the KUSD and hold them accountable for their actions. And the same with your pathetic actions.

   2. “Mandated Child Abuse and Neglect Reporters”
      “Mandated Reporters are required by law to report child abuse and/or neglect to a county or law enforcement. In addition, Mandated Reporters are required to report threats of school violence to law enforcement.”
      The list of who the law mandates to report is long but includes:
      School teachers
      School administrators
      School counselors
      School employees not otherwise specified in this list

      1. Ah yes! More taxpayer dollars will do the trick! More bureaucrats, more DPI contracts, more mandatory reporters! Meanwhile, we already spend more on state-sponsored and taxpayer-sanctioned indoctrination than any civilization in history….but throw more money at it, that’ll do the trick.

         1. Teachers receive a paycheck.
            If teachers are indeed responsible for reporting abuse why would that cost extra?

2. The family of the alleged victim—make the phone call:
   Michael Karp – Attorney, Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin

   Someone at KUSD needs to be held responsible.

4. Y’all definitely don’t know what’s going on they have no proof and there were witnesses. Plus the student accusing of this contacted Mr.Jackson after this accusation hmmmmmm . Y’all quick to accuse especially this reporter with his no life having ass. Privileged people I tell ya.

   1. It’s in his personal file dumbass.

      1. Pedo Jackson seems a little upset that he got caught, lol.

   2. I can’t really understand your statement. Can you try to use better English?

      1. English Mother Fucker, do you speak it!?

         2

         1. do you know how to write it?

            MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

            1

      2. He is not running Sipling School he was a daycare teacher there. Everyone called him Mr M and very charismatic. He was fired in June after my granddaughter parents went to Grayslake police. Only then did they fire him and finally send an email to parents even tho they found out about it a week prior. He’ll keep going to place to place until he is prosecuted which I doubt. The effects will be with my babies long after they pulled the kids out of school asap.

      3. Please do a follow-up story on his being a daycare teacher at Sipling school daycare in Grayslake. I know you are from Round Lake area so this is your community. My family is grateful fir your article in kenosha but more families need to know in case he shows up to watch their babies. We are heartbroken for our little girls thus happened to them and other kids in the school. Exams were done in the hospital at the suggestion of the Grayslake police. But supposedly still investigating. No other children should be harmed by this grooming bastard.

   3. Are you a KUSD graduate? If so, your comment is a perfect reason to choice out.

      Yikes— grammar counts!

   4. Innocent people do not resign, especially with these types of allegations. Just saying.

      1. He was forced to resign by the school district. This happened during the whole Christian Enwright situation and the district felt that this was the best outcome to protect the district and the teacher……. Nothing was proven to be true….. But it’s over now and let’s return to our normal programming

         6

         3

         1. nothing was proven???…?? he’s being charged now so rethink that.

            1. Lies

            2. Christian was charged with 22 counts

         2. Not while he was a daycare teacher at Grayslake Sipling school at the same time. Our 2 granddaughters were pulled out of there because of the what he did to many kids. He was grooming them, a 4 year old girl. So I’m glad you can get on with your usual programs, but we are all dealing with his actions he did to my babies.
            But go live your life if that God forbid ever happens in your family.

   5. Hmmmm. How dark is your sun tan?

   8. ??

5. Thanks, Kevin, for publishing the document above. This time KUSD did an OK job of getting rid of him. The personnel file is flagged that he was resigned in lieu of termination which is an awfully damning label. In fact, it’s worse that termination in some ways because people have been canned for bullshit reasons and sometimes even the employer or supervisor is actually at fault. Plus it saved taxpayer money, achieved a final result and spared the witnesses from testifying. It’s a win.

   1. No it’s not, he was a daycare teacher of little little kids in Grayslake at the same time. Until they are prosecuted they will just keep moving to another state or school. He taught kids in WI and IL. He’s no dummy to keep moving. Mr M was a very charismatic man hiding in plain sight. Which makes him dangerous.

6. I normally support your articles, but I cannot and will not support this one. I also donate to your services faithfully but this is just beyond ridiculous.

   Why are you still reporting this, if there were no police involvement at the request of the mother than that means it wasn’t that serious and she didn’t feel he was grooming her daughter. I see the situation as a male teacher encouraging a female student gone wrong. I’m sure he learned his lesson but leave this man alone.

   1. Ok, groomer. you get the rope too

      6

      11

      1. You sound stupid…. You’re talking about hanging people, don’t hide behind the name of “ White Straight Male “ now you committing a hate crime

         10

         10

         1. Hey Amanda, are you going to get banged later? Yeah, it’s not so appropriate now……is it?

            5

            4

         2. Hate crimes don’t exist, groomer

            6

            4

            1. good ‘cus I hate stupid people and you win the prize fucktard

   2. He taught at a daycare in Grayslake, Sipling school, at the same time. Without this reporters article people would not be aware of his actions. Grayslake police are investigating, and he was fired from the daycare but not b4 he groomed many kids there. So turning a blind eye is not the answer. Catholic priests are shuffled from school to school because there is no prosecution or people nit willing to testify. These are scared kids, my granddaughters are 3 and 4, and the kids in kenosha are still under age and cannot give consent legally cause they are still legally children. Does that make you rethink your statement? We pulled the girls and went to police only then did the daycare fire him and put an email to parents even tho they knew about it for a week.

7. Oh so a teacher inquiring about a students sex life is okay? How about touching them- that’s fine? You must be a pedo yourself if you find those acceptable.

   17

   9

8. No, I’m a teacher that understands allegations and proven facts are two different things….. We don’t know that this man asked about her sex life, just because she said so, we automatically believe her. Also, since when is touching a student non sexually is a crime?? You all are ready to stone this man without nothing but proven to be true. The mother herself said she didn’t want police involvement. If it was that serious and deep like the Christian Enwright case, she would’ve pressed charges.

   1. As a parent, I don’t want a teacher touching my child unless they are choking or need to be saved from going into traffic. Ice down a female’s shirt is unacceptable. A fire-able offense? No, but concerning nonetheless.

      18

      1. A male teacher putting ice down a female student’s shirt absolutely should be a fire-able offense.

         5

         1

   2. Why would I let a teacher rub my kids shoulders rather yet talk about banging? Sicko

      10

      1. We don’t know if that’s true….. Society is so messed up. Kids are allowed to say anything and ruin someone’s career…….

   3. shut the fuck up, im the victim bitch and IT HAPPENED

9. What is his start date at RUSD?

10. He’s now running a childcare center in Grayslake IL and families have no idea about his criminal record.

    6

    5

    1. He has NO CRIMINAL RECORD!!!!! LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE

       12

       4

    2. Omg he is??? That’s disturbing. Not to mention I would not feel comfortable with a man watching my little ones. Men just aren’t fit for childcare roles- they aren’t nurturing or as maternal to other people’s kids. (Let the hate comments begin…)

       4

       5

       1. Oh so now men aren’t nurturing enough to care for children, that’s stupid….. I have personally know Mr. Jackson for years and I would trust him with my life and my children’s life…… My family loves this man and all that he does for our education system….. If these things are true then yes, he’s wrong and it’s a learning curve, but firing him was a-bit extreme…… TEENAGE GIRLS are cruel and don’t always tell the truth. And it’s a race thing as well…. Look how long it took the district to fire Christian Enwright (white male) but fired Mr. Jackson 3-4 days after the allegations based on hearsay….. I hope he sues and fight this. I’m sure that they’re hundreds of parents that would support him, I’m one of them…..

          12

          10

          1. Learning curve? The district didn’t fire him, they let him resign..Enright was fired. How is that for white privilege?

             11

             1

             1. How, for example the district knew about this and did nothing (same as Jackson) then the district put Enwright on leave after parents were upset, Jackson was also put on leave pending the investigation. Enwrights district investigation tooks months, Jackson’s took days. Even after all the proof was there, the district still chose not to fire him and called everyday to get him back in the classroom. No proof against Jackson was proven to be true besides he touched a female student on the shoulder. Jackson was asked to resigned after 3-4 days in lieu of termination, meaning if he didn’t, he would’ve got fired. Jackson did the smart thing in resigning because they had already made up in their mind the outcome. That’s how it’s white privileged and I’m a white mother in support of Jackson

                1. You are stupid.

                   3

                   1. Okay, I can be stupid that’s fine. But facts are facts. Prove to me that what I said was wrong? You can’t because it’s all true. The district got rid of Mr. Jackson because he was black with allegations against him that once again wasn’t proven to be true. What happened to all is innocent until proven guilty??

                      11

                      11

                2. So what’s in his personal file is fake?

                   6

                3. Thank goodness you told us you are white. That changes everything- you’re so heroic!

The effects will be with my babies long after they pulled the kids out of school asap.

11. If he is so innocent and such an upstanding teacher why didnt he fight it?? Why resign and let the optic be that he was guilty of something? The fact is that KUSD has a problem with pedophile teachers.

    6

    1

    1. How do we know that he didn’t??? Yes I agree that KUSD does have a problem, but this guy is not one of them…… He was forced to resigned. Anyone can lie and ruin someone’s career

       1. It’s on video him putting ice in a kid’s shirt

          4

          1. Where’s this video at? Or are we just taking the author word for it who is known for lying and making statements that aren’t true

             9

             5

             1. Why did he resign?

                3

                1. He didn’t, the school forced him to do so

                   2

                   1

                   1. Why? Sounds like they had a good deal of evidence— evidence that you have a right to access —- can you handle the truth?

                      1

    2. This man we all called Mr M was a daycare teacher at my granddaughters Siplung School in Geayslake, Illinois at the same time period he taught at the Kenosha school. He was finally fired from there after accusations of grooming little girls there. He worked with young kids. My granddaughters and other children were around him. I’m nit going to say the hell they and my family have been thru. Only after we got the police involved, hospital exams did the school fire him. They knew of the problems for one week and he still took care of ours and other little kids without notifying and parents. Of course Mr M was my charismatic always giving hugs and picking the kids up. They say these groomers hide in plain sight, well he did. They both were pulled out and the families are currently looking for new daycare. These are our babies these perverts are caring for. If the administration won’t protect them who will. We leave our kids in their care, look into the place, pay the tuition, think they are OK and then they aren’t. SO I’m sorry if, not, that he was exposed and now he gets to go on to another school and do the same thing with no record for the new employer to check on. This is what they do to catholic priests, just move them to a new parish to do it all over again. These are kids whether 3 or 13 they are kids who cannot give consent.

12. Kusd should really look at Steve Knecht
    How many child teacher relationships has he been in involved in hiring the teacher that gets in trouble? Bullen , Indian Trail, Tremper. He he really fit to be a principal???

    6

    1. There’s rumors he had sexual relations with someone high up in KUSD to get the job. They’re just rumors from what i understand. But I remember a time where he blatantly ignored reprimanding students (2 brothers) who recreated the George Floyd murder on video and were relentlessly racist to other students. The brothers were not kicked out of NHS nor punished in anyway because daddy’s a lawyer and plays golf with the principal and mommy cried “defamation lawsuit” despite her brain dead sons posting their hate crime to the literal internet for all to see.

       When will you people understand that anything paid for by the government and ran by the government is just bureaucratic politics and pencil pushing. It’s a game of “who knows who” in a town like Kenosha (hence why Enright was so protected and asked to return to work AND started as a first year teacher at a school like KTEC [a job veteran teachers would want] in the first place??). Bad people will always be protected in a society that operates on the same principles as the mafia. It’s always about who you know, not what you know.

       You don’t become the principal of a major high school without kissing some ass and doing some underhanded things to get there. You don’t get on the board without money and corruption and kissing babies. You can’t pin blame to one person when the whole system is the problem. But blow your lungs out trying!

       As a former public education staff, my children are homeschooled.

       1. When the taxpayers are footing the bill it’s pretty hard to expect anyone running the show to actually get fired and/or lose benefits.
          Generally no matter how bad the fuck up things they will be allowed to resign often with a confidential pay and benefit package.

          Milwaukee Pubic Schools just had the big one after the Feds suspended a program due to lack of accountability.

          2

       2. I’d be curious to know the last name of these kids whose daddy was a lawyer….?

       3. God…. Who could he be banging….. it’s all soft… middle aged white males at the top. Unless you talk about the former super, the former interim super, and the communications chick.

          None of them seem like a prize.

13. He was given a highly positive letter of recommendation , and a tube of lube for his next job.

14. As a teacher at KUSD that worked with this man and has seen groomers in action and was a victim once many years ago, I do not believe Jackson was a groomer at all, nor do I believe he had creepy intentions with any of the students. From what I could see, he got too comfortable with the kids and forgot his teacher character. He forgot these kids are in fact kids- not peers or young adults (they also want to be seen and respected as grown ups really bad, and with the internet they learn how to get along fine in adult worlds and contexts. MANY adults would find themselves guilty of this ‘forgetting their actual age’ dilemma too, whether you think so or not. We see it happen all the time). He did make some critical mistakes. NEVER add students on social media, NEVER let students know you’re a real person outside school, keep it all about their education and when they need someone to talk to immediately send them to the counselor so that you do not find yourself in a position like this. It doesn’t matter if the student contacted him after these reports or if she acted correctly or not- she’s a minor and we can’t assign any blame to her. Jackson isn’t an evil pedo, he was a naive and inexperienced young male working with teens for the first time with minimal guidance and made some very inappropriate mistakes. Should he resign? Yes. Should he be crucified? No, it’s sick and cruel.

    1. From another post:
       “As a teacher at KUSD that worked with this man and has seen groomers in action and was a victim once many years ago,…………….”

       So the question is: Are teachers and staff at KUSD considered “Mandated Reporters” under Wisconsin law?
       If so is there some sort of documented training?

       2

       1. Yes to mandated reporting. Sometimes to proper documented training. You have to back out and look at the big picture here- we have a national teacher shortage. Schools are in a desperate position to fill roles while veteran teachers retire and there’s not enough young new teachers pursuing the career to fill vacancies. When schools or any orgs are desperate, shortcuts are taken and things slip through the cracks. Who are the end users? Students (parents) and teachers. So ultimately students are the ones impacted and potentially put in danger (teachers are too I.e. violent behavior, I was punched in the stomach while pregnant once, etc.). So how do we avoid hiring inadequate adults desperately and make this role appealing enough to get qualified, educated, safe staff in a world where students have exponentially worsening behavior, technology addictions, learning deficiencies, etc. ?? You have to pay to make it worth it. It’s an increasingly difficult job, and it’s not enough anymore to serve as a calling. But no one wants to pay teachers more, in fact they are usually the villains in the court of public opinion. It’s a complex and multifaceted system, this public education dilemma. So short of burning it down and starting over, privatizing education (thereby excluding many parents who rely on free education for their kids because low income), or making it the parents problem to educate their own kids, adding more money for resources and paychecks is one of few viable solutions.

             “When schools or any orgs are desperate, shortcuts are taken and things slip through the cracks.”

             Yes, shortcuts are taken that is obvious.
             The standard excuse put forward by public schools is a shortage on money but it would be pretty hard to show a public school district where money has improved test scores—RUSD with it’s Billion Dollar referendum is a good example as is MPS when you look at cost per student and the fact that recently it seem MPS has been deficient in it’s financials.

             Could it be the liberal permissive ideology pushed forward by teachers and administrators is responsible for the abject failure of public education? Current entry level teachers are a product of that dysfunctional system “where shortcuts are taken and things slip through the cracks.”
             Most people who care are done with accepting excuses.

          2. The teachers are overpaid. They get all the sweet union bonuses and have summers off. I’m tired of their whining. Stop overpaying the admins. Take their money and give it to the teachers. How about we pay on performance not tenure union bs. That’ll weed out the garbage.

       2. Also several teachers told admin back in October what students were saying about Jackson. It wasn’t until one of admin’s favorite students was the subject of potential harm that they finally took things seriously. Thats likely because there was no one else to fill that role and it would’ve caused all science classes to go up in volume with all the displaced kids which in itself creates more problems. You can’t manage a classroom of 35+ kids unless they’re all perfectly behaved LOL

          2

    2. Is this Christian Enwright ?

       1

       1

       1. No it’s not

    3. When you forget you’re a teacher- it’s time to go. Kids don’t need to hear teachers personal feelings, preferences, advice on personal issues, etc. Teachers should teach – that’s all.

       4

15. The HR staff might want to start doing better background checks on the people that are under consideration for employment. Maybe they need to do some more testing of the candidates that might show a tendency towards this behavior before offering a position. This might be a better way than exposing kids and waiting for law suits.

    2

    1. Good luck. In a world where victims rarely want to come forward and are blamed and shamed when they do, many perps predisposed to sex crimes will never have a record and there’s no way to tell. KUSD employees do undergo serious background checks, just as most government positions do. Our judicial system needs a revamp to a stop these kinds of things before they begin.

       2

    2. They do good background checks….they just don’t care what shows up on them for the most part.

16. It’s mind blowing to see any support for this teachers actions. DM’ing kids outside of school should be a fireable offense. The fact is, this teacher put himself into too many bad situations and was extremely lucky to have worked in a school district that doesn’t protect kids nor holds anyone accountable.

18. Until we get rid of the liberal board we will continue to find these cover ups. Unfortunately liberals are more likely to lack morals and are for some sick reason accepting of this sickness that is running rampant in our society. Doesn’t help that Joe Biden and his son Hunter are both pedophiles and sexual deviants.

19. I’m the parent who brought this to the school’s attention in October. My daughter was not a victim of his actions, but is friends with the student who was. The initial “investigation” was very brief (maybe 2 days). She was devastated when nothing was done and thought they just didn’t believe her or that she was making it up.
    She refused to go to his class anymore, and I didn’t blame her.

    4

20. This guy was just hired (and fired on his first day after a staff member found this reporting by the Eye) in my kids’ school district (Lake Forest Elementary School District 67 in Lake Forest, Ill). The issue is he did not disclose his KUSD employment on his application. Thus his resignation in lieu of termination from KUSD was not on our radar and because charges weren’t filed in Wisconsin, the state and federal background check turned up nothing. The practice of allowing people to resign instead of being fired, as would happen in the private sector, allows people to hide their past and poses a threat to students locally and across state lines. We need to do a better job of sharing information across district and state boundaries so people like this can’t “hide” and prey on students in other districts.
