I heard it too, it is obvious this is true. This woman feels victimized by this jerk. If nothing else, I would like to let this woman know we respect and love her, and we would be willing to stand by her if anything was to happen to her because of her values.
It had "the ring of truth" to it. There is a story there.
My guess is that this teacher does not realize that this story would break nationally and really vindicate her.
