    I know this. You know this. The judges know this. The jury knows this.

    This does damage by subjecting the teachers to suspensions, trials, legal fees, etc. to the point that they take a plea bargain or resign. It makes the schools hyper-sensitive.

    If the courts don’t throw these cases out immediately, then the tactic worked.

      I hate that you’re right. The teachers could eventually win a lot of money for malicious prosecution but it would certainly have a chilling effect.
