Man, those are some UGLY women... I bet they had to sleep with teenagers in order to find somebody with absolutely no standards at all.

I guess the word got around the center that an irresistible stufmuffin was in residence.

Too bad he's a juvenile, cause we oughta see what he looks like. He may be guilty too.

" Morrow-Hargrove told police the boy had aggressively pursued her, police reported.

Well that makes it all a huge misunderstanding doesn't it?

Reasonable adults are supposed to be able to tell 16 year olds to 'run along now'. But since the student aggressively pursued her she just couldn't be expected to resist, could she?

LMAO!!! My thoughts exactly!!!

My opinion:

2 are obviously guilty
1 is not guilty (need to see her in full makeup before conclusive opinion)

This is from Maryland, where the legal age of consent is...16. What is the problem?

Lew-Port Teacher Arrested
Friday, February 9, 2007 07:44 AM - WBEN Newsroom

Lewiston, NY (WBEN) - A substitute teacher in the Lewiston-Porter school district has been arrested for allegedly using drugs in a classroom.

Two fourth-grade students told administrators they believe they saw 59-year-old Joan Donatelli using drugs in the classroom last week.

Police were called in and found evidence of what they think was cocaine. She was charged with child endangerment and banned from the school.

District officials sent a letter home to parents advising them that a substitute teacher "may have a substance abuse problem."

Donatelli will be in court later this month.

Quick: before they post all the pix, does it make a difference if the women are attractive or not?

I'm just glad NASA and Catholic priests weren't involved.

I think I may have been molested by those women too! They pursued me, I think.

I hope this "boy" isn't placed in a foster home with other children. He seems better suited for a brothel.

I'm disgusted. Speaking as a teacher, every time one of these stories appears I always feel like it's a little bit personal, as if parents are looking at me as a potential buggerer of their little boy or girl. If teachers weren't so well protected by tenure, the union, and the sheer incomptence of the system, a fair amount of these shennanigans wouldn't happen. However....

I've also wondered why so many women are involved with these cases. My gut feeling: this is part of the coarsening of culture along with widely available porn, obscene lyrics in rap, soft-core television, and children's shows presented with sexual innuendo. Let me state my opinion.

What would a grown woman see in a 16-year-old boy? Go ahead and look up the personal history of John Holmes, well known for his presence, so to speak, where he brags about being seduced by older women wanting to "experience" his presence. In a culture raised on porn, told that sexual licentiousness is normal, hooking up is fine behavior, any rule about sexuality is "oppressive" and girls are given birth control promptly after their first menstruation, it isn't a surprise that there are a fair number of women who reduce their interest in men to genitalia. I hope I wrote that delicately enough.

In fact, before I married my lovely wife, I dated a number of women who were just a couple of years older than the teachers and counselors in this article. Some of them were amazingly shallow, and some of them were very willing to have sex with a guy who demonstrated the same kind of presence as John Holmes. I knew women who rejected men solely based on that presence. In fact, that was a story line in "Sex in the City."

So we have some women who consider any expression of sexuality their birthright and any modesty to be foolish and oppressive. After a lifetime without restraint, these ladies meet a young man with "presence." Having never practiced restraint or modesty, they are unable to express those virtues.

And these people are working with children. Of course, this problem isn't contained in schools - most of the women I was mentioning earlier worked as businesswomen, government employees, librarians (!!! true !!!), journalists, even a few firebrands who called themselves conservatives. The ongoing coarsening of our society reaches far into the souls of Americans.

Anyway, that's my crackpot idea.

Thank you for your post. A good post.

It struck me repoll because you can google "teacher" "arrested," add a state name if you want, and it will shock you to read what comes up.

What is happening to our society?

I've heard that men look at the fireplace not at the mantle. Give me a break. This is loose morals on the part of these women. As well as no control in these institutions.

For starters, teachers work for the state, and they work with children, so every arrest will be reported. Teachers are also expected by law to hold to a higher moral standard than the rest of society. My contract states that I can be fired for something called "moral terpitude," which basically means that anything I do that is considered immoral can lead to my firing.

In theory, I can be fired for getting drunk in my own home or playing poker with my buddies on Friday night. In practice, unfortunately, no one gets fired as a teacher, even when their morals are beyond bad.

Some of this comes from history, where teachers (women) would be routinely fired for having a drink, going on a date with a man, getting pregnant (even when married) and so forth. Since those running schools don't believe in moral certainty (different from political correctness), no one gets the boot for violating moral norms. If you don't believe there are norms, how can you violate them?

The sheer debauchery of our society can be in so many places that a lot of us are blind to it. Just look at the popularity of the "Girls Gone Wild" videos - all of which are done by young women who willingly took part. Most of those women are not going to be teachers.

There are some professions where any arrest causes headlines - teacher, priest, police officer, minister, politician. Those people are in professions where there is supposed to be a public trust. I think you'll find a fair number of bad people working as managers of fast food and down at the local bank, too, but they'll only get a little listing in the police record for minor crimes and misdemeanors.
