Media cover-up of school thefts?

Here's an issue you'd think you'd find at least several mentions of on the Internet but almost never do: schools extorting money from students by falsely accusing them of damaging textbooks or other school property.

We all know it happens. You know it, and I know it. I even experienced it at several different schools.

Yet if you search for the topic on Google, you come up empty.

I cannot believe that nobody else has had money stolen from them by their school, or that parents aren't raising holy high hell about it happening to their kids.

Is there a media cover-up of this scandal? All we hear about is how schools think parents ripped them off by not paying the school's legal fees when the school has to be sued over some unconstitutional policy.

Is this like the problem of student bullying, which the assface media covered up for years and years - only to have stories start emerging later?
