In 2019, a 12-year-old accused a Chicago school teacher of inappropriate physical contact. It was false. Reflections on my recent reconnection with the teacher, who also happens to be my namesake.
Was a story. I didn’t know any of this was going on at the time until reading your piece. Well done, and my goodness! So glad he, your namesake, came out the other side of this.
I may have written this here before, but it is injustice that lets us know justice. Really, even if it's just something like the threat of blackmail, this is the component of any thriller, and thrillers reflect real life. For opening up a false accusation, I recommend Arthur & George, by Julian Barnes. I suppose it is literally non-fiction, and it is about the Edlaji affair, which ran sort of parallel to the Dreyfuss affair, only in England (but unlike Dreyfuss, I don't think it's actually called an "affair"; don't know what code word it is usually under).
Well right here in YOUR own backyard: D200 firing of OPRFHS science teacher Adam Poldolner has all the hall marks of false accusations: both DCFS and the Oak Park police declines to pursue the case. But that did not stop the high priests on the Board from doing so.
