Lap Dancing Teachers Suspended.

One of the biggest viral videos and hottest stories all began on a teenage girl's cell phone, when she chose to video tape the steamy sex simulation two teachers embarked on during a school assembly. A few weeks ago, I spoke on this topic, and now, the Churchill teachers' verdict has been decided. Trustee Mike Babinsky told the pres the mother of the Human Resources director died just days before the incident, which might explain why two weeks after suspension with pay, the teachers were brought in on seperate days and told they would be suspended indefinitely and without pay. While the male teacher has a contract, the female teacher is signed on yearly, so it is expected once the school year ends, she will not be asked to return to the staff. To clarify, a rumor started that the teachers suffered no punishment at all, because of the school's "no videophone or recording device" policy, which made the video insubstantial evidence and complete void of meaning. However, this is not at all the case, and the teachers are definitely being punished. To read about the original article, click here.

My opinion on this topic hasn't changed one bit, and I think it is a real shame these foolish teachers were suspended without pay. While a the board was not comfortable with this behaviour, students and parents were absolutely fine with it, or at least acknowledged it as a mere lapse in judgement. The girl who taped the incident regrets posting the steamy footage on the web to begin with, and her father agrees with her stand. I hope, though, that the way the school dealt with their punishment won't endanger future employment, just because they wil hopefully gain some wisdom with age, and learn that oral sex simulations in a high school gym are not the best way to make your employer happy.
