I don’t believe it for a minute!! Let’s check into the so called victims reputation and the witch hunt this has been!! When this is all over and done will you post a headline stating Mr. Stanziale’s innocents? Sussex Tech- word is the vice principal/disciplinary has it in for Stanz. So he continues to question minors without parents knowledge or consent. Are you not satisfied with the truth that Mr. Stanziale is a good teacher and has never displayed this behavior so you keep on questioning until you get someone to say what you want to hear??It is known that parents, students, and staff are supporting Stanz. Where is the administrations support??

He was released because this is not Salem, Mass in the 1600’s. When a teacher has had a flawless record and is suddenly accused by ONE student with possible retalitory motives, couldn’t it be possible that the student - and not the teacher is the one with serious emotional illness?
