Schofield Teacher Reinstated

A few weeks ago we reported on a parent  who questioned the appropriateness of three books in a middle school classroom, Ender’s Game included, calling one or more of the books pornographic. The South Carolina teacher was placed on review while the school district and police investigated the claim and decided whether criminal charges would be filed. Today the Aiken Standard reports that no criminal files were charged and that the teacher was reinstated on Monday.

“After conducting its own investigation, the Aiken Department of Public Safety did not file any criminal charges. Officials said the teacher did nothing criminal and considered the case closed. They offered no further details. No further details were immediately available from district administrators about the decision to return the teacher to class.”

Ender’s Game author, Orson Scott Card, responded to the parent’s pornographic allegations last week. Read Card’s response here.
