That’s pretty poor franchising. Everybody knows how many teachers give it away for free.
It seems like the reporter thinks that this is a significant part of the outrage. Like, if they had gotten more, say $20 or $25, then it wouldn't have been as bad.
The dads already knew what was going on.
How is this any different than giving out condoms or other forms of birth control. Isn’t the tired old excuse, “kids are gonna have sex and we can’t stop them”?
“Family values don’t stop at the Yangtze River.”
I once read a funny short story about two small Texas towns that were bitter rivals over football, competitive even by Texas standards.
One of the towns got a new resident, a 34-year-old “widow lady”, who bought a house near the high school and for some reason dressed older than her years, like a grandmother.
She became friends with the high school’s top-notch football coach, and seemed to be genuinely interested in him, though very politely, even though he was older, fat, and not particularly handsome. She very gently rebuffed his very formal advances, though she would bring by large trays of delicious treats, “for him and the team”, and implied that he should keep trying.
Finally, she agreed to permit him to visit her at her house for dinner, but only on the condition that he bring with him several of the players from the Varsity team, as chaperons, to protect her reputation. Then, while making small talk with the coach in an adjacent room, the boys were left unattended and bored in the dining room. Soon they discovered a photo album on an end table, and made an interesting discovery.
The “widow lady”, once changed from her grandmotherly attire into younger and less demure garments, was more than attractive. In some of the recent, dated photographs, she was downright gorgeous. This was quite a revelation to the young men, who before had not imagined her as even interesting, much less desirable.
Within the week, each of the young men, on his own, had seen fit to cross her path, and in short order, were thrilled to find themselves performing difficult chores for her in her back yard. And after they had completed their tasks, she offered them refreshments of ice cold lemonade and cookies, which quickly led to much, much more.
Little did each of the young men, in their wildest dreams, imagine that they could ever be in a romantic affair of such intensity. And devoting great efforts to being discreet, as well as obeying her exacting timetable, they each, unknowing of the others, became her obedient servants.
Needless to say, their individual obsessions caused their schooling but mostly their performance at football to suffer accordingly. With only extraordinary effort were they able to keep their streak winning games against their formidable opponents.
Finally, a few days before the big homecoming game against their bitter rival, she dismissed each in turn from her embrace, while protesting that it wasn’t right that they should sacrifice their youth for her passion, that they must go into the world and find a girl closer to their own age, and they must promise to remember her fondly, though they could never be together again.
The young men were devastated, weeping and anguished, and could only be persuaded to leave after much heartache and reassurance.
On game night itself, the score was a lopsided disaster for the team, which had been the projected favorite in many of the wagers that went on behind the scenes. The largest of these wagers, that paid a very handsome return, had been made by the opposing team’s coach betting on his own side to win, and win big.
A generous individual, before leaving for home with his victorious team, he stopped briefly by the house of his young, vivacious, and sexually voracious ex-wife who lived locally, to present her several tens of thousands of dollars, to help defray her living expenses and cost of moving to this strange town.
And to propose a repeat performance the following year, to which she happily agreed.
The story concluded by saying that she was not entirely duplicitous, in that she was indeed a widow, having completely worn out her first and second husbands before marrying the coach.
Yeah, the brothel should be at least as far away as the 'gun free zone'.
The pool hall/brothel’s mistake was soliciting just off campus without first becoming a school vocational affiliate.
This reminds me of a story that happened in St. Louis maybe 15 years ago.
A restaurant next door to St. Louis University High School wanted to sell its building but couldn’t get any takers. They came up with an idea to open a strip club/juice bar (no liqueur license, no permit required).
I don’t think they were ever serious about this but it sure got peoples attention and they quickly got their price for the building.
The liberals in New York will be outraged by this. How dare those brothel owners invite high school boys to have sex with females in their establishment without providing a comparable service for gays?
Is this another reason to homeschool? The school itself is not to blame.
Standards may be going down, but not because people are paying for sex. Been done as long as we know.
