It was a distraction because folks other than her MADE it that way. I see no evidence she couldn't control her classroom
She provided the distraction. Unfortunately, there's no escaping one's past now that the internet is forever.
And those who found the distraction, according to the article, were the STUDENTS. I note everyone who is screaming about the libertarian sacrament of consequence-free sex positivism keeps claiming it was busybodies that were looking for ways to take her down and alerted the students to it.
As is generally the case in these situations (and those of you who attended public school should remember this) it was well-known by the students before the adults (parents and supervisors) were aware of it. Because that doesn't fit the libertarian boogeyman of FUNDIES TRYING TO IMPOSE CHRISTIAN SHARIA, you are ignoring the article.
Next, "You don't see evidence should couldn't control her classroom?" Strange, I also don't see any evidence she could. This is a news article, not a transcript of a court case. As noted before, I will believe those who are closest to the situation are best able to make informed decisions.
LASTLY, as has been pointed out many times, forgiveness doesn't remove consequences. You engage in an activity that will make teenage boys unable to think of you as anything but a sex object? I'm sorry, but I don't think you should be in a position of authority over children.
And yes, what teenage boys do IS important here because that's who she is dealing with.
But, of course, we need to ignore human nature so long as sex in involved. Because liberatarians are CERTAIN the only reason people treat sex any differently from any other activity is because they are pushing Jesus on people and have "hang-ups" about sex.
I'm not sure about the libertarians, but I'll publicly dance with my wife or play soccer or any number of other things. Not too keen about sex in public though. I guess I just have "hang-ups" about it. You libertarians, of course, have no such compunctions, though, right?
If, however, you do, why do YOU treat sex differently than playing volleyball?
