"What the He** is teacher doing taking a student's photograph without permission, and, when asked about it, responded with disparaging remarks about the girl's appearance?"

She was probably dressed like a slut, smelled like she just got out from a pig sty and spouted a mouth full of vile profanities.

I probably would have thrown her out myself if she didn't leave the classroom immediately.

As far as "privacy" - since when can't a person take a picture? The next thing LIBERALS will cry about is that someone actually looked disparigingly at someone else - and then called that HATE speech.,

THink at what you said, and then try to think back to what you would have said 20-30 years ago ... you now sound like a leftist radical.

No one has a right to take your picture without your permission, except in very limited circumstances. That was not one of them.

Secondly, whether the girl was disreputably dressed, or merely unattractive, is irrelevant. It is not the teacher's place to make disparaging remarks. If her dress was so inappropriate she should not have been in the classroom, the child should have been sent, with an escort if necessary, to the appropriate disciplinary authority. Tossing the kid out the window is not the same thing as sending her to the Dean of Girls (that's what we had in my day 40 years ago) to be disciplined. If the child behaved inappropriately, by all means apply the proper, legal discipline.

You know, I DID think about what I would have though 40 years ago when I was in high school (and working hard for Goldwater, thank you), and I would have said the same thing. You may be in awe teachers, but I'm not now and I wasn't then. In those days I thought 3 out 4 did not belong in a classroom, whether because of stupidity, incompetence (not the same thing), mendacity or other unsuitable personality traits or personal habits (ever spend an hour a day in a closed classroom with a teacher who regarded bathing and soap as personal enemies?). My view has changed little subsequently, although I would say in my own children's experience perhaps as many 2 out of 5 were competent, if you include some amazing vocal music teachers.

"She was probably dressed like a slut, smelled like she just got out from a pig sty and spouted a mouth full of vile profanities."

lol.....So why did the teacher want a picture of her? I could say that the teacher was probably a dirty old man and a pedophile who enjoys verbally abusing his students, but then I would sound as stupid as you, so I won't.
