Female Teachers Pursuing Male Teenage Students, That Ain't Hot

First thing: shame on all the self-proclaimed feminist bloggers who won't touch this story with a 10 foot pole but will jump all over any story related to a man
sexually abusing a child.
Beth Ann Chester,
a 26 year old female high school teacher in suburban Coraopolis, PA has been charged with
sexual abuse of children and statutory sexual assault after she sent nude photos of herself to a 14 year old student via text message:
The boy's parents discovered suggestive text messages on Dec. 26, then met with Chester later that day, police said. She tendered her resignation the next day, citing personal reasons, said Moon Area School District attorney Jack Cambest.
I noticed there's no mugshot photo of Chester accompanying this article. Why not?
A June 2007 article in the same newspaper discusses sexual abuse in US schools
as a growing problem,
and mentions "two 28-year-old female teachers at a therapeutic school for emotionally disturbed and neglected boys
in New Windsor, New York, were charged with having sexual relations with two 16-year-old students."
My fellow feminists, where is your outrage? Surely something like this would piss even Dworkin-type feminists off:
One 2000 study, by the American Association of University Women, a nonprofit membership
group, and the market research firm Harris Interactive, asked a national sample of 2,064 boys and
girls in the 8th through 11th grades if they had ever experienced "unwanted and unwelcome sexual conduct,"
either verbal or physical, from teachers or other school employees. A previous study in 1993 included an
identically worded question. The response was consistent in both surveys, with about 10 percent of both boys and girls saying that they had.
The 2005 article When Ms. Teacher Goes After Male Pupil
(beware, it's published at FoxNews.com) has a very detailed discussion about female teachers pursuing male students, while an article at
AZcentral.com claims sexual abuse by female teachers is rare.
Personally, I know several adult lesbians who have told me they had sexual relationships with female teachers at Beloit Memorial High School
and Turner High School (both in Beloit, Wisconsin) while they
were students.
Meanwhile, Joseph Samuel Ellis's trial started today. He's one of three teachers
accused of sexually abusing students at various
high schools in Maryland. One of the three accused Maryland teachers is a 28 year old female named Kirsten Ann Kinley.
As a mother of two teenage boys, I can't imagine learning a teacher has been sexually involved with one of my children. I'm hoping
I've made it quite clear to Beloit school teachers that I'm crazy -- and don't mind losing my mind when it involves my children.
That should be all the protection my children need.
