Foxnews has decided that a private school kicking out a student is news
WTF
We are talking private.

That might fly in a unionized public school, but not a private school known to be left wing.

The women were looking for a fight, they got it and got their asses kicked.

I don't believe that I "hate" blacks any more than I do anybody else; rather I dislike BLM and their buddies, antifa, for how they basically destroyed a lot of my home town, Portland, Oregon.

Those idiots marched, ritoed, burned, graffitied and otherwise took a proverbial dump on Portland for about a year, and the limp-wristed left-wing politicians currently running this berg let them do it.


I have heard much of Portland is near unlivable at the moment and this nonsense is continuing.

But next election the residents will vote for the same Democrats to keep doing the same things.

It looks like the legal arguments were on her side to me, if not the ethics.
For some reason we are gettng a very good insight into some of your shallow thought processes today. If I was you I'd go back and delete these things

Ex-teacher who said she had constitutional right to sex with students gets prison

This had to be one interesting American Government class.

Not so much. Her legal argument sounds like the woman who said she was pregnant so she should be allowed in the HOV lane since it is 2 in the car. Or the guy who got caught in the HOV and said he had 2 corporate charters in the car with him, making it "3 persons."

IOW, creative, but hardly on sound legal ground.


I don’t know the students ages, but if age of consent is 16 in that state, seems like she should only get fired for it and be banned as a teacher. I assume they mentioned it in the article for that reason.

There is a second issue here. A person in a subordinate position as student to teacher is considered never able to give consent. Same deal with an inmate to a CO. That trumps everything else.

It is a case of an aging woman showing to herself that she can still bag the young guys. She probably has to do some time. Obvioulsly should lose her job and pension.

Why would I delete anything?

Granted, I hardly know anything about the case. I just noted it said the the age of consent is 16. I didn’t mKe the stupid law she based part of her defense on. I’m sure there are extenuating circumstances which breaks other laws, because you can’t throw people in jail in your state if something is legal.

Disgraceful and inexcusable on all counts.

The athlete who can't compete knew the rule against cannabis yet she knowingly chose to get high and got caught.

Sure, it is a stupid rule, but until it's abolished it must be followed, or else.

Me, I love cannabis and would vote in a heartbeat to end that silly rule, but I have no say in the matter.

The bottom line is you can’t fix STUPID. The athlete who has spent the last 5 years of her life preparing for her Olympic moment was aware of the rules regarding cannabis. You might think the rule is bad (I do). You may believe that there is no connection to cannabis as a performance enhancer (agree).

But how freaking STUPID do you have to be to light one up a month before the Olympics?
STUPID.
