Hot Sexy Teacher Sex

We here at SBSB were saddened by the news in yesterday's New York Post and today's Daily News of alleged sexual trysts female teachers had with their male students. Though these students were above the legal age of consent, we feel that if the charges are proven against these teachers that they both must suffer the consequences.

Of course we all know that sex sells papers, and that teacher sex sells even more papers, especially when the Post of the News is involved. But what really sells papers is the humiliation of women on the front pages of both papers. What is more titillating than reading about a female teacher involved in some type of improper sexual conduct with a male student.? Many years ago when I was in college, my Western Sexuality professor at SUNY-Purchase lamented that men, especially those in a position of power, still wish to control a woman's sexuality and what better way to do it than to humiliate any woman involved in something as we witnessed on the front pages of both papers. Hell, there would have been no front page story to talk of if the sexes were reversed. Mind you, we are not condoning the actions of the teachers, we are just stating an opinion on sexuality in our culture.

This permeates all to this unhealthy infatuation of sex by the powers that are. We hedge to bet that the editors of the Post and the News, one Australian, the other English, (which means they come from the two countries with the lowest forms of journalism) do have serious hangups about sex and by humiliating these teachers feel that this is not only making them feel bigger about their Freudian physical shortcoming, but we are sure they both had a good wank. Never mind that New York Post editor in chief Col Allan has been linked to the "Millionaire Madam."

But there are two disturbing aspects to this mess. We find it to be too much of a coincidence that on Tuesday, the day before the front page story of the Post reached out to slap us, Uncle Mike, through Sock Puppet Walcott decreed that there should be a state law that all teachers are subject to the whims of the chancellor, not arbitrators in any sexual misconduct cases. Asa like when the zaftig Caesar gave a thumbs down to stand up philosopher Comicus, Walcott will sit in judgement of all who comes (pardon the pun) before him. But it gets more disturbing.

Yes, it was a set up Walcott's decree on Tuesday and yesterday's and today's news stories. The Post is all too eager, as well as the News to do the bidding of Uncle Mike. Not only was this a double team (pardon the pun) by the press and the DOE, but how did the Post get the name of this student involved? Of course, in our opinion, it came from whomever at the DOE continuously feeds the "journalists" at the Post teaching hating stories, and this person must be involved with the DOE.

Ergo, this person violated Chancellor's regulation A-820; Confidentiality and Release of Student Records; Records Retention. So not only does the DOE give the student's name for all the world to see, but it shares the school at which this student is enrolled as well as where the student lives.

However, Harris Lirtzman goes to OSI with report to OSI to report that special education students are not getting the services that are required to them by law and brings copies of their IEP's to show proof and what happens? He gets nailed for violating A-820. Can this world of which we are involved in get any more fucked up?

The hypocrisy and the double standard consistently shown by the DOE is just mind numbing at times. How much longer are the vast, vast majority of our colleagues going to just sit around and hide their heads in the sands. The DOE is like an abusive spouse and we as teachers just let the abuse happen. It is time to deal with that abusive spouse, time to not run away, but to take ownership of our careers, of our students education, and to say enough is enough.

  1. I always use the analogy, that you ended with. Teachers need a divorce from the DOE (not to mention the UFT)... All bad relationships must come to an end, and I am sure that Walcott/Bloomberg are going to go down-trying to take
    Powers out of the arbitrators hands. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN EVER!
