Jay Scalise, director of the Academy of Alternatives, found out about the incident at a regular meeting with the student, parents and staff. During the meeting, Scalise said he learned that the sexual contact was consensual.

Listen....hear that?

Of course you don't. It's the deafening silence from the people who say "Attaboy!" to the schoolboys who get laid by female teachers.

Kent, you're in the Seattle area. Tell me, are they soft-pedaling the DUI conviction of Vili Fualaau as much locally as much as they are nationally?

Oh, sure. That's right. Rub it in, whydon'cha...? :)

Honestly? I gotta give this loathsome leftist sumphole that much in the way of (reluctant) credit, at least: even HERE, the whole Letourneau/Fualaau thing is regarded, almost universally, as a classic case of "EWWWWWWWWWW -- !!!"

I won't say one never, ever, ever sees sympathetic coverage of that awful pair, hereabouts -- this is The People's Glorious Republik of Seattle, after all -- but, by and large: no real attempts to "happy face" either one of the two human grotesqueries, OR their innumerable (and all-too-cringingly-public) faux pas.

Scalise said he learned that the sexual contact was consensual.

For some strange reason, I'm having a little trouble getting too worked up about this.

Although it is a crime, I see a consensual act as a much lower level issue than armed burglary and murder, even though the victim us underage. (And yes, I have a teen-aged daughter)

I don't want to give him a pass or anything like that, I just don't have a big sense of outrage here.

What he's done is wrong, but given the group of losers and hope to be ex-losers that are the clientele of the Academy of Alternatives, I'm not very surprised that 'stuff' happens.
