The “Sexedemic” in Our Public Schools
For those of you who may have thought that my earlier blog post on the 34-year old science teacher at Claymont Elementary School Rachel Holt who was charged with raping her 13 year old student on multiple occasions was an “isolated” anomolous incident, check out this extensive list compiled by World Net Daily which has documented where female teachers have been accused, or convicted, of assaulting students. And it is a Long list of some really skanky looking women who are evidently too busy raping the students to teach them how to read and write.
Adrianne Hockett: Accused of having sex with a 16-year-old special-needs student in a Houston apartment she rented for the get-togethers. The boy has testified the pair would “have sex, drink beer and smoke weed.”
Amber Jennings, 31: Though Jennings was initially charged with having sex with a 16-year-old, the counts against the Sturbridge, Mass., woman were reduced to a single charge of disseminating harmful materials to a minor. She reportedly admitted e-mailing naked photos of herself to a former student. She received no jail time, only two years of probation after pleading guilty.
Amber Marshall, 23: Northwest Indiana woman allegedly had sexual contact, including intercourse, with several students at Hebron High School, and turned herself into authorities, telling police she knew what she did was illegal.
Amira Sa’Di, 30: Clayton County, Ga., woman remarked she didn’t think her relationship was inappropriate based on her Internet research, learning the Peach State’s age of consent is 16.
Amy Bramhall, 33: Education technician was arrested in January 2006 after a 15-year-old boy at the alternative education school in Warren, Maine, told police he had an ongoing sexual relationship with her. Flirting allegedly eventually led to an estimated 200 sexual encounters. In December 2006, she received three and half years in prison, with all but one year suspended, and four years probation.
Amy Gail Lilley, 36: Inverness, Fla., woman and softball coach at Lecanto High School charged with a lesbian relationship with a 15-year-old girl. She received no prison time, being sentenced to two years of house arrest and eight more years of probation.
Entire list here
For those of you here in Mass who send there kids to Blanchard Middle School in Lowell Mass you might want to keep your eyes peeled for this charmer:
Susan Clickner, 47: The 8th-grade science teacher at Blanchard Middle School in Lowell, Mass., was sentenced to serve 18 months for having sex with one of her students in the back seat of her car. Clickner had been accused of luring the 14-year-old during the summer of 2005 into the back seat of her car and molesting him. He later told his parents, who notified police. She also was ordered to register as a sex offender.
18 months? That’s it? This hag should have been put away for life for molesting this kid. Imagine if it were your kid who was molested? The emotional scars will never go away. She violated his innocence forever. 18 months of cable tv, 3 square, and yoga. Any molester male or female should be locked up for life. Period. Only in Mass would she be given 18 months.
Can you imagine if this many male teachers were sexually abusing and raping 10 and 12 year old girls? What the hell is going on here? Where is the oversight? Where is the public outrage? Where is the NEA? Why was Simon Cowell interviewed on “60 Minutes” and not the parents and victims of these molestations and rapes? Why isn’t this story front page on the New York Times? I’ll tell you why. Because it doesn’t fit their left wing agneda. If it were white males they would be plastered all over the front page unless of course they were homosexuals- but if they were heterosexual males raping 12 year old girls you can bet your life it would be above the fold in every liberal fish rapper in existence.

It’s a very long and disturbing list. Maybe Dateline NBC or some other media outlet can focus on this aspect of the crisis.

Well finally, we are in complete agreement on something. Anyone molesting underage people should be sent away for life. Male or female.

Wow, so many of them only got light sentences. They must have NEA lawyers. And why isn’t FOX news covering the obvious immorality of this group that can’t police themselves obviously. (Please note sarcasm. I do not believe these people show what the republican party is about, like I don’t believe the teachers you listed represent the vast majority of teachers.) As for why it is not front page news, I do believe the stories you have mentioned have been front page news pretty much everywhere. AT least I know I have seen those stories.
Gregg, your point about these crimes being terrible is spot on. And I think there are some very interesting discussion points around public versus private schools. But painting a broad brush against all public school teachers and public schools as being immoral is pretty silly. And since the majority of private schools in this country are catholic, I shudder to think about some of those stories and stats. And yes, I am catholic.)
There are thousands of public school teachers that do great jobs, often in less than great conditions. 30+ kids to a class. Outdated text books. Buildings falling apart. Etc.
And my father was a public school teacher. He speaks three languages, was at the top of his class in high school and college and is smarter than many of the MBAs I meet on a regular basis. Just in case you are wondering where I am coming from here.

I see you still can’t spell “anomalous”.
So WorldNetDaily compiles a list of every female teacher and Gregg dutifully barks like a dog and labels it a “sexedemic”. Of course, we don’t know if it is an epidemic or not because Gregg can’t provide any context. What is the incidence of rape of students by female teachers per 100,000 students in public schools? Is this number going up or down? Is it higher or lower in private schools? Is it higher or lower than in parochial schools? Gregg doesn’t know of course, because his real target is public education in general, not the “sexedemic”. So yeah Gregg, these incidents, while terrible, don’t provide insight into anything but your own hatred of public schools.
Here is the clincher: “Why isn’t this story front page on the New York Times? I’ll tell you why. Because it doesn’t fit their left wing agneda. If it were white males they would be plastered all over the front page unless of course they were homosexuals…”
Gregg, did you see all of the front page stories in every paper across the country about child abuse in the Catholic Church? Did you note how many of those incidents involved parochial schools and how many involved men and boys? Do you really think that you can make the statement above and that people will take you seriously? I don’t see the story on the front page of conservative newspapers either so I wonder how it fits into the conservative agenda?
Judging from the TheOptimist’s list you’re going to have to keep your kids away from Republicans too.
March 21st, 2007 at 6:27 am
Your list includes at least three incidents which happened in other countries, one in which it was a bus driver, and several substitute teachers and teacher’s aides. Hardly a damning case against the NEA, your real target.
Finally: “And it is a Long list of some really skanky looking women who are evidently too busy raping the students to teach them how to read and write.” Judging from your spelling and inappropriate capitalization, I’d say you should consider remedial classes as well.

JLA,
To your question:
“Gregg, did you see all of the front page stories in every paper across the country about child abuse in the Catholic Church? Did you note how many of those incidents involved parochial schools and how many involved men and boys? Do you really think that you can make the statement above and that people will take you seriously? I don’t see the story on the front page of conservative newspapers either so I wonder how it fits into the conservative agenda?”
Optimist, to your point:
“Gregg, your point about these crimes being terrible is spot on. And I think there are some very interesting discussion points around public versus private schools. But painting a broad brush against all public school teachers and public schools as being immoral is pretty silly. And since the majority of private schools in this country are catholic, I shudder to think about some of those stories and stats. And yes, I am catholic.)”
Can you please specifically cite for me where I stated that “all public school teachers and public schools as being immoral?”
You seem to have a penchant for attributing statements to people that are not accurate. Impossible to have a thoughtful discussion when you intentionally distort and manipulate my statements.
Also, the list you provided which I can’t verify has nothing to do with my larger point. I never talked about the political affiliations of the teachers themselves-only that it is almost exclusively liberal Dems who obstruct school choice initiatives and give teachers like this permanent tenure. So, your list is really not germane.
Gregg
Yes I do know the exact statistics comparing the number of children molested by Catholic Priests verses those molested by public school teachers. Do you?
March 21st, 2007 at 8:53 am
Painting public schools with a broad brush (yes, you didn’t say they were all sex fiends, we’re not stupid) by making sex abuse your thesis and headline is not distortion and manipulation, let alone sensationalism and alarmism?
March 21st, 2007 at 9:26 am
Geez, I am sorry that I read your responses and came away with the feeling that you were using the sex abuse cases to attack all public education and say that the majority of teachers were sub-par. How could I possibly have come up with that conclusion from your ramblings.
And teacher’s political views have nothing to do with my response. I was just trying to show that you can find an amazing amount of low lifes in any group, even republicans. I hope you hold Mark Foley to the same “throw him in jail for life” standard that you hold these teachers. I sure do (my guess is that you won’t answer this.)
And I don’t know what the stats are for Catholic schools. Never said I did. But I bet in the past it was disturbing and I don’t trust any new stats on this, because I know very well the hush hush mentality of many of the leaders of my faith. It makes me sad.
And you have a penchant for avoiding real discussions or points made by others by singling out odd things instead of answering the main point of an answer back. You debate like a stalinist. As a student of history, I can appreciate that.
But to make things easier for you:
- Do you believe these republicans noted above deserve life imprisonment? I do.
- I don’t believe the stats you show are an acurate portrayal of the vast majority of teachers.
- I do think there are some interesting points to be made for privatizing schools.
- I find your politicizing this issue is just sort of silly. These teachers are terrible people, but are not something that the system created. Like Mark Foley, they are just bad human beings all together. They could be bakers, librarians, stent salesmen, PR guys, etc.
Happy pre-Kwanzaa
