Iusmen is my neighbor. He is a decent human being we have known for years. It seems to me that teachers are easy targets because of very few with criminal ones, just as the rest of our population has bad citizens.

Mr. Iusman is a talented teacher and an upstanding citizen. It is too bad that he has been accused of such an act. My son was in his class this entire school year and witnessed Mr. Iusman to be a gentleman at all times through his spoken word and his physical behavior.

Guilty.
