NEA/Sex Issues

Look, if two people want to have consensual sex, I have no problem with that. (Don't go crazy looking for ways to "straw man" that statement, ok folks?) I don't even have a problem with it if they want to have that sex in their place of business. Offices etc. see it happen all the time. But when that place of business is a school while students were (probably) in the building, now I have a problem. If the man has judgment that bad, what else might he make poor decisions concerning?

The Rutland Herald Online - NEA board member had license suspended

MONTPELIER — A Vermont teacher recently elected to the executive board of the nation’s largest teachers union had his license suspended earlier this year for having sex with a colleague in his classroom.

However, officials with the National Education Association said Wayne Nadeau’s disciplinary problems are behind him and won’t affect his ability to serve in a leadership role.

“It’s a personal matter and we don’t think it will impinge on his ability to serve as an executive committee member,” said NEA spokeswoman Kathleen Lyons. “Having an affair is not a disqualification, and I know it’s something he regrets. He’s been disciplined; the matter is closed.”
