Usually I don't make a big deal out of blaming parents if kids use drugs or they make bad sexual choices. Obviously the parents didn't succeed in teaching values that seem important to me, but this sort of failure is too common to condemn too vehemently.

Did you even read the article at all?
It had nothing to do with the parents.
It was the teacher that facilitated this atrocity.
The parents got the teacher sacked when they found out.
She'd better go teach in the fetid, decrepit, hell hole of San Francisco where they tolerate such nonsense.

Well, I guess toplessness didn’t get to the atrocity level for me.

I taught a lot of kids who found ways to hurt themselves. I don’t always blame the parents or the teachers.

Please feel free to hold this teacher up for our criticism if you feel that way. As the article says, she is out of line.

Topless shots are hardly an atrocity in high school today. Girls pop nude or topless selfies to send to boys all the time. A friend went through his son’s phone and found scores of such shots-unsolicited. One girl did a virtual tour of the town with her showing full frontal nude in front of each landmark. Modesty with girls is a lost cause for about half of young women.
