Welcome to the teaser episode of Classroom Coverup, a 10-part true crime podcast series that exposes the disturbing practice known as "passing the trash," where schools allow teachers accused of predatory behavior—such as grooming, inappropriate touching, or sexual comments toward students—to resign quietly without reporting to authorities or documenting issues in their records. Often, these educators receive neutral or even positive references, enabling them to move to new districts or states and continue endangering children. Drawing on court documents, survivor accounts, news reports, and verified statistics, this episode introduces the series by highlighting the most shocking cases and the systemic failures that allow them to persist. We cover cases like Andrew McGann, whose alleged favoritism toward young girls went unreported as he moved across states, culminating in a 2025 double murder; Gary Gregor’s decades-long abuse spree across Utah, Montana, and New Mexico, ending in a 2022 conviction for child rape; and Jon White’s horrific acts in Illinois, feeding semen-laced snacks to second-graders after a misleading reference. From impregnating a teen in California’s elite schools to recent 2024-2025 cases involving cheer coaches and Scientology-linked cover-ups, the allegations are staggering: molestation, rape, and even murder tied to unchecked escalation. Why does this happen? Schools prioritize avoiding lawsuits, union pressures protect teachers, and administrators choose silence to preserve reputations. The impact is devastating: 10% of K-12 students face misconduct (Shakeshaft 2004), with Texas logging 4,300 unreported educator exits since 2017 against 2,500 charges. Victims suffer lifelong PTSD, while districts like LAUSD pay out $1.4 billion in settlements. Reforms like Texas’ SB 571 and New Jersey’s hush bans offer hope, but gaps remain. This teaser breaks down what happened, why it matters, and how to fight back with advocacy and awareness. On X, #EndPassingTheTrash is gaining traction. Listen, share, and join the movement—kids’ safety depends on it! (Word count: 324)
