Toomey, Manchin accuse Education Department of dragging feet on protecting students from predator teachers

A bipartisan pair of senators accused the Department of Education of dragging its feet when it came to protecting students from sexual predator teachers.

Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter sent by Senators Pat Toomey, R-Penn., and Joe Manchin, D-W.V., to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona regarding a recent department report entitled "Study of State Policies to Prohibit Aiding and Abetting Sexual Misconduct in Schools."

The senators wrote the report "examines state laws, regulations, and policies to ensure that certain school employees with a known history of engaging in sexual misconduct with minors cannot transfer schools without consequence."
