He DID say it. Later he said he should never have made public his private thoughts.
What I want to know is what he thinks about "sexually active MALE teachers". Can they be sexually active, but not females?
He said single pregnant teachers.
Well, obviously, that's a completely different question - a horse of a different color. I should think he would see the difference.
Which is an important distinction. I may well wish that teachers were of good moral character, without looking for a law to enforce my idea of morality.
I certainly wish teachers would keep quiet about their sexuality, and I’d rather women and men only have sex when married, so children have a biological mother and father. But that doesn’t mean I would support firing a teacher if she got pregnant ou of wedlock, or had decided to live with a man without getting married. Bad choices, but not something I’d want a law about.
