Because the busybody, gossiping moralizers

Hey, it sounds to me like someone wrote a letter to folks at school, not to the public at large. Am I missing something? It was the AP + whatever local press which may have originally reported it who reported it to the public at large, including students.

So are you calling AP & the entire Press "busybody, gossiping moralizers"?

actually, the AP article didn't seem to particularly have a problem with it, so I can't say they are moralizers. But busybodies and gossips - what ELSE would you call an article like this?

No. We have agreed that a large problem with "immoral" behavior is that children may find out about it and thus be influenced. If I saw a teacher going into the Hustler store, I wouldn't think a thing about it, so why would I tell anyone?

It would only be those busybody gossiping moralizers who would then set about whispering about town that "Mrs. Dianna was in the Hustler store!!" It is they who are setting the stage for the children to find out. It is they who are setting up the children for damage.

In this particular case, there was at least some question that public funds were used. That may have triggered the article.
