All the other reviews complain that in this episode the story is all over the place. They're not wrong.
My problem however is with one statement of one of the involved teachers, which is totally glossed over, and that to me shows what is really wrong with America.
A student accuses a male teacher of sexually assaulting him, but is unable to name even one detail, convincing Amaro he is lying. OK so far.
Then the student changes his story and accuses a female teacher, and this time he is able to provide a lot of details. So this teacher is arrested.
After a botched suicide attempt she then reveals that the real assault was committed by another female teacher who she herself had a crush on. So when the student accused the male teacher this lesbian teacher knew he was innocent, but instead of coming forward to clear his name, she decided to remain silent to protect her "friend". This action to me is despicable and cannot be punished hard enough. But the writers of this show don't seem to feel the need to have any of the characters show their disgust. Throw an innocent man under the bus in order to cover for a guilty woman, sure, that's how it's done in the USA today.
