GOP candidate Ron Paul says victims of sexual harassment must bear some of the responsibility

Georgetown 1/03/2012 04:09 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, who is leading in the
polls for the Iowa caucus, said in a book written in 1987, that people, who are
sexually harassed, should quit their jobs, instead of have the federal
government intervene.


In the book entitled “Freedom Under Siege: The U.S.
Constitution After 200-Plus Years,”  Paul
says, “Employees rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees
into sexuality,” he further states, “Why don’t they quit once the so-called
harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the offender cannot be defended but
how can the harassee not bear some responsibility for the problem? Seeking protection under civil rights legislation is hardly
acceptable. ”


As a sexual harassment attorney knows not addressing a person’s harassing behavior can
lead to misconduct and abuse of other employees. Some form of disciplinary
action is necessary to end this hostile behavior and make the workplace free of
harassment for future employees.


Before a person can hire a sexual harassment lawyer to help them with their case, they must
address the issue be reporting the harassment to their superiors. When taking
this course of action has failed then and only then can they get the help of
outside authorities.


In the court a sexual harassment attorney bears the responsibility of proving the harassment was
pervasive and make the workplace hostile. People who are harassed can’t file a
lawsuit for one off-collar joke or comment .
