Joe Biden's nominee for Deputy Secretary of Education apparently does not believe that it's necessarily a serious issue if a child gets sexually assaulted at school.
Under Marten's leadership, the San Diego Unified School District became notorious for sweeping sexual abuse under the rug.
In 2019, the school district paid a $375,000 settlement to Michael Gurrieri, a former school district investigator who claimed that he was fired for refusing to self-censor additional allegations of sexual assault in a report about an incident between two kindergarten students at Green Elementary School.
Lawyer: Why do you think it would be important to report incidents of that nature to CPS? Marten: I just explained that we were mandated to report incidents of that nature; so that's why it's important to follow the mandate that is required under our credentials.
If Marten were a Republican, it's almost inconceivable that the mainstream media-not to mention national education beat reporters at the New York Times and Washington Post-would have ignored it.
Perhaps they reckoned-correctly, it turns out-that the mainstream media and education reporters would not dare expose a Democratic nominee.
It's hard to imagine that any American parent could look at Marten's statements on the sexual abuse of children and conclude that she is morally fit for the number-two position in public education.
