Two longtime Alabama school board leaders are defending the panel's decision in 1993 to reinstate an elementary school teacher who was accused of molesting a student, even though the teacher is now charged with more abuse.
Acker, 49, is now in the county jail on four counts of first-degree sexual abuse involving two female students under 12. Police said the former teacher admitted to molesting 21 girls throughout his career when he was arrested on Wednesday. The arrest shocked residents of the well-to-do Birmingham suburb, where Acker taught for 25 years and was a familiar figure in his green VW convertible.
