A message concerning my zero-tolerance stance on men who flirt with married women:
One of my dear friends was subbing at a local school, an all-boys school, and meanwhile her door was open and the teacher across the hall was teaching his class. She noticed him looking over a few times but kept right on teaching. Well this teacher sent one of his students over to tell my MARRIED friend that he (the teacher) she had a pretty smile and that he had been watching her all day!
Okay, can you say UNPROFESSIONAL! That made me SO angry.
1. My friend is very married.
2. That guy was way outta line and did I say UNPROFESSIONAL.
3. This is in the middle of the school day, and Mr. Teacher Man interrupted both his class and my friend's because of his little love fantasy.
4. SICK!
Anyway, when my friend was telling me this I noticed I got really perturbed about it. I guess there are the "He didn't know she was married" or the "He's not a believer and can't be held to the standards of one" remarks, but common sense, morality, and professionalism knock those down on the ground. I think too there are so many teachers out there who are much more professional and moral that deserve HIS job. Now I know why at the sub orientation for the public schools, they spend an hour talking about sexual harassment! Thank goodness the only sexual "harassment" I have to deal with at work is from Nick! ;)
Anyway, I highly recommended she report this guy to the school authorities, and she considered it and eventually did.
And I hope he gets fired or at least publicly shamed.
So, my conclusion is: I love justice, and I love that it's the Lord's. Let's wait and see what He does in this situation.

That's so weird...is this really common? I mean, the guy actually got one of his STUDENTS to relay the message. What in the world?!!
nikki, don't know how much this happens. it's really sad though, isn't it? i think when she first told me i was angry and now i'm in the sad stage. it may seem like a somewhat small incident, but it just triggered a lot of feelings in me. parents a lot of times send their children to private schools to get some kind of protection and religious education (in some cases) and stuff like this happens. i guess it just confirms that sin can corrupt any heart in any setting, even to the point of jeopardizing one's job.
oh, and no one has ever called me a femi-nazi nor do i have characteristics of one at all (i don't think) but i wanted to put it in my title because i think it's a cool word.
ok,i'm done now.
I especially like this part: He had a student relay the message. Number 1: he interrupted her class...I'd be ticked and number 2: he didn't even have the guts to do it himself. I think he's been in high school too long.
And what kind of example is he setting for these boys? Good grief. I share your indignation.
