Apr 9, 2007 - From The Chaffey Breeze, "The Independent Student Newspaper of Chaffey College,"(published by journalism students) comes this editorial, "Blackboard Predators" that starts out with,
Sean Powell's 18-year-old body is feeding the maggots because a Florida teacher's attention was on his crotch rather than his cranium. From pre-school to college, classrooms have become lairs where emotionally warped predators lay in wait for susceptible students — like animals hunting for prey.They were referring to Sean Powell, the 18-year-old student who was shot by the husband of a teacher was having regular sex with the boy.
Teachers who molest students are worse than animals. Animals generally kill for survival. Sexual perverts like McLean molest students for the sheer sake of self-indulgence and then hide behind laws and union contracts for protection.The article sums up the solution: "The shot that killed Sean Powell is a call-to-arms to parents that the locks — the tenure laws — that regulate the candy store need to be changed."
