The Voice of Treason

You think your school district blows…

Not to be outdone by our lackluster school district, in which a school principal was arrested for cocaine possession when he was pulled over for drunk driving, a first grade teacher from another district not far from here was arrested for possession of methamphetamines. Almost $3000 worth. I imagine she could have had even more in her purse but, as you know, we just don’t pay teachers that well. They’re struggling. The price of narcotics keeps going up; how do we expect our educators to afford them on these measly salaries?

Chances are no one would have known that this teacher had drugs and drug paraphernalia in her classroom. It’s just that a sheriff’s deputy thought it odd when he saw two cars parked on the elementary school campus in the middle of the night. They were blocking the school entrance and that was a potential problem. He ran the license number of one vehicle that he recognized from previous incidents and decided to take action.

To make a long, sordid story a little shorter, a female teacher was in her classroom with a guy half her age who had a criminal record and a syringe on his person. She explained that she was there to grade papers. Later her friend admitted they were there to get high and have sex. Then the deputies found the meth.

Local reaction was interesting. No one seemed too surprised, and one mother who was interviewed said that her son didn’t like the teacher and had begged to be moved to another class. Talk radio callers are getting used to these stories; one said he knew her well and the two of them used to do drugs together all the time.

Our tax dollars. Hard at work as always.
