Teacher of the year award?
Apparently we have another example of teachers being forced to worry about political correctness as opposed to truth and facts.
A Montgomery County teacher who told a high school sophomore last week that she was dressed like a prostitute has apologized to the student and her mother, the mother said Tuesday.
Jam Donaldson at Conversate is Not a Word pretty much summed up my thoughts:
I personally want to thank this teacher for having the guts to say what so many teachers and school administrators are afraid to say.
Whatever happened to enforcing standards in our schools? I remember our principal would get on us if our jeans were a little too tight. At some point, it seems the school community just gave up:
You want to wear a thong hanging out of your jeans, you want to have your boobies falling out, your ass cheeks popping out of your low-riders, no problem.
Teachers used to be able to hit their students, discipline, yell, comment, and anything else that made them better individuals. Now, teachers in most places aren’t even allowed to fail a student because, after all, they tried their hardest (despite how this is generally untrue.) Sex education is now 12 steps to becoming a slut and/or a homosexual. World religions now teaches students why they should pray to Mecca and shun God. And, social sciences teaches girls that years of feminism existed to give them the right to get knocked up and now, dress like a hooker.
I hope that this incident doesn’t turn other teachers off from being honest.

Sheesh don’t you know Andrew that being a slut is a God-given right? Seriously, why would you want to take that away.
(Sarcasm by the way)

i’m mixed on this. if it was a public school and supposed to be an open place, that was a bit rude of the teacher. i mean, i agree that girls are too sexualized at a young age, but that’s still a rude comment isn’t it?

I think “shaniqua jones” showed her bias the moment she entered her name. Regardless, this is freaking hilarious.

Although the girl may have been dressing “like a prostitute”, surely the teacher could have found a more democratic way to word it.
Consider the opposite… if the teacher had been dressed inappropriately, and the student had called her on it, would it have been acceptable?

Wow, Bible Bill. Feel bad that I’ve been stepping into comment so much recently but that was just racist. Doesn’t seem very biblical to me… you know Jesus was most likely dark-skinned, right?

I always enjoy the stuff you guys write. This is just sad, however, that this sort of (accurate) commentary even needs to be made.

In response to the “Sex education is now 12 steps to becoming a slut and/or a homosexual” I just thought I would point out that because America teaches mainly abstinence only sex education in schools, teen pregnancies are extremely high.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, America’s teenage pregnancy rate is more than 80 teen pregnancies per 1000. Compare that to Canada (between 40-69 per 1000) Japan and most western European countries (40 per 1000) and Holland (12 per 1000.)
America’s teen pregnancy rate matches those of countries like Belarus, Bulgaria, and Romania. AGI says “the primary reasons why U.S. teenagers have the highest rates of pregnancy, child-bearing, and abortion among developed countries is less overall contraceptive use and less use of the pill or other long-acting reversible hormonal methods, which have the highest use-effectiveness rates. Factors in cross-country differences in teenagers’ contraceptive use include negative societal attitudes toward teenage sexual relationships, restricted access to and high cost of reproductive health services, [and] ambivalence toward contraceptive methods.” They also found that US Teens are “more likely to have shorter and more sporadic sexual relationships.”
And – surprise surprise – none of this is because of sex-ed.
How can you expect teens to not want sex, especially with all the sexuality that has permeated pop culture. Flashing sex all over the place and then simply telling them to “not have sex” isn’t going to do anything. Kids are uninformed because they don’t know what a condom is, or what safe sex is. Expecting them to either a) not have sex or b) not get pregnant, while not knowing anything, is just delusional.
By the way, sex-ed has nothing to do with homosexuality.
