Republic School District is the worst in Missouri; school accused of making middle school rape victim apologize to attacker

Republic School District gets my vote for the worst in Missouri. Hands down. If you make a middle school special-ed student write a letter of apology to a boy who she reported for raping her, then you’re the worst.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that a lawsuit has been filed against the district, alleging that the schools’ administrators failed to protect the girl from a boy “who harassed her, sexually assaulted her and raped her.”

The lawsuit says the girl was raped during the 2008-09 school year, but district officials didn’t believe the girl. So she recanted (more on this in a second), and school administrators allegedly made the girl write a letter of apology to the boy and deliver it to him. Then the school expelled the girl for the rest of the school year and referred the case to juvenile authorities for filing a false report. It gets worse.
