Corey Hodges should not be around children period. He has so many allegations against him in multiple counties and facilities for it to not be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Little boys and girls would not come forward at different times to report abuse from him. He is the athletic coach for the school, he\u2019s alleged to be a science teacher but he\u2019s alleged to not only touch kids but bring drugs into a workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a school, a church even! A place where kids are supposed to be safe, I don\u2019t see how that\u2019s possible when a man like that is allowed to be so active in the school and church with the allegations of malicious crimes that he has committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s banned from being a substitute teacher. His teaching license which is a coaching license has expired since 2011. Why is he still allowed to be in the school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t have to buy a background check like Director Clark on that man to know that he\u2019s dangerous and probably not ok to be around kids because the internet alone is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Scott said we shouldn\u2019t believe what an addict accuses someone of referring to the girl who accused Mr. Hodges of molestation while being in a rehab facility drawing from heroin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Clark knows about this man so does pastor Scott who instead of caring about the safety and learning environment of their school and church by not letting people with these types of charges in, chooses to allow him to be a coach a teacher, and a principal to remain there and encourages you to withdraw you\u2019re child as soon as you find out and wants to know why are you judging him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And says please withdraw them we encourage you to do so, so we can get on the wait list of kids dying to get in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scenario gives into the stereotype that you cannot trust the church with your children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
