  • Tell me if this bad.

    Take a at this site
    http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/news...48/detail.html

    Then search for Malcolm Yorkston on this DOE site:

    http://165.248.6.166/data/directory/employee.asp


    A quick Google Search gave me his UH website.

    http://www2.hawaii.edu/~yorkston/etec645/bio3.htm

    Well what do you guys think?

    Would you want him to be your childs 4th grade teacher?

    What should be done?

    Re: Tell me if this bad.

    You registered just to post this? That's what looks bad.

    An arrest is not proof of guilt, particularly an arrest based on an allegation (let alone any connection besides a name - the KITV item doesn't mention whether the Yorkston in question is a teacher). And I can't find any other coverage of the subsequent disposition of this case. (There are two other stories in the Honolulu Advertiser that mention Yorkston in his teaching capacity, here and here.)

    Either way, it's up to the courts and the jury - if it even gets that far - to determine "if this bad."

      First of all, your right because the 2 names might not be the same person.

      Secondly,I'm not placing blame or making accusations. I just asked if this is bad and if anything should be done wether or not he is found guilty.

      Thanks.

        Assuming that it's the same guy, then that would be up to the DOE, now, wouldn't it? I imagine that they have policies about employee misconduct. Let the process work, that's what it's there for.

          i'm inclined to agree with pz on this one...innocent until proven guilty, man...but if a jury decides that they did do it, lock 'em up...i've got 2 sisters and tons of hanai nieces, and the thought of a crime like that makes me want to puke...
          Don't be mean,
          try to help.

            nope. you did not ask that.

            "First of all, your right because... "
            ...tell you one thing: wouldn't want YOU to be anyone's teacher.
