However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

While I appreciate that the Department of Education has finally fulfilled its obligation to investigate whether states have implemented policies, laws, or regulations to stop the heinous practice of ‘passing the trash,’ I am deeply concerned with these findings, any educator who engaged in sexual misconduct with a child should be barred from ever teaching in a classroom again, yet too many states do not have policies to ensure that is the case.

The metric I use, you look at what the law is, and you enforce that law, under that, there will be some that stay under the current asylum laws because that's what the law says.
