Teacher Melvin Fair Charged with Four Counts of Indecent Liberties with Students

by Anne-Marie Nichols

melvin_fair.jpgIn Kernersville, North Carolina, Melvin Fair, 55, was charged with four counts of indecent liberties involving two girls, both students at Southeast Middle School. The recent allegation involves a 14-year-old girl. The other allegation - indecent liberties with a 12-year-old girl - goes back to 1999.

Fair is a PE teacher and athletic director. He has been with the school since 1998 and working in the school district since 1995. The allegations state that Fair knew the girls from gym classes and that the incidents happened when he was alone with the student.

The news report says that the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system does not let teachers resign when they commit a crime. Instead they are dismissed - a potential red flag to school attempting to hire them in the future.

That’s something that most school districts don’t do, but should start doing.

About Teacher Smackdown

Thank goodness for teachers. Most are passionate, hard working, and decent. For many of us, it’s a teacher who got us where we are today. But that’s not what this blog is about. Instead, Teacher Smackdown identifies the molesters, thieves, and lecherous adults masquerading as teachers in our society. It also gives parents resources and information on protecting our kids and identifying these monsters. Teacher Smackdown – putting the spotlight on bad teachers betraying the public trust one kid at a time. These are their stories.
