Lessons in Crime: American Public School Corruption

As a crisis of honesty continues to manifest itself throughout the nation, the public school system is often a victim of corruption. The quality of a country's educational system must be a top priority which is placed at a disturbing risk by graft and dishonesty.

School corruption robs schools of millions of essential dollars, causes students to receive inferior books, supplies, programs, facilities and training and perhaps most importantly, erodes the moral fiber of our nations youth through the repercussions of moral indifference by those in authority.

In my opinion, these examples, and many other in the private sector, underscore the need for leadership and ethics training for those in authority, as well as the implementation of appropriate controls to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences.
