BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS Posted: December 4, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A female teacher who allegedly "married" a 14-year-old girl in a pagan ritual faces criminal-sexual conduct charges in Michigan. Elizabeth Miklosovic, 36, of Grand Rapids faces a possible life sentence for her conduct with a former student at Baseline Middle School in South Haven, Mich., the Muskegon Chronicle reported. "They also participated in witchcraft together," Detective Sgt. Dianne Oppenheim told the Michigan paper.
The Kent County Prosecutor's office issued warrants Thursday on first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct charges, alleging Miklosovic, a seventh-grade language-arts teacher, was involved in illegal sex acts with the student at the teacher's Grand Rapids home. The girl's family initially believed Miklosovic was trying to help the girl, described as emotionally troubled, the Chronicle said. But the girl's uncle, outraged, says the teacher "brainwashed" her into thinking their actions were OK.
"It's heartbreaking to know [you put] your trust, your faith in a teacher, and this is how it goes," the uncle said. "[The girl] doesn't think a crime's been committed. She's plainly been brainwashed by her teacher."
The girl told police of five sexual encounters from June to October, the Muskegon paper said. Miklosovic has a "nontraditional family," a neighbor told the paper, living with another woman and their adopted son. Local residents expressed their anger to the Chronicle.
"If you can't trust your kid's teacher, who can you trust?" asked Monica Thompson, 24. "It appalled me. I heard about it on the news last night. A kid and a grown woman?" A recent graduate of local South Haven High School, Mallory Spencer, told the Chronicle, "It's getting kind of scary now. I have a lot of friends who teach there. ... I'm kind of numb. You hear about so much these days, nothing surprises me." The Chronicle said Miklosovic, who has worked for the district three years, was highly regarded by staff and students and had no previous criminal record in Michigan.

"I refuse to ignore that gut repulsion one gets when considering their actual sexual behavior."
Very well put. Or as my neighbour once said, "It's an exit, not an entry." Yuck.
"Homosexuals are pretty sick people."
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. Romans 1:28.
Cursed is the agency that placed this poor child with these two. It's not a family, it's not a home, and it's not normal.
Yes, call me old fashioned, but I never believed that women should be ministers. There is something very queer and almost pagan in seeing a woman with a Roman collar. Also like homosexuals in the army - a special interest group like women always brings a little special agenda to whatever needs to be done.
I don't hate women, but there is a time and place for everything I think.
Have you heard of liberal Catholic and Protestant women religious organizations and National Council of Churches things how they always turn a ceremony or symposium away from Jesus and go more towards a new age pagan goddess aproach?
One non-rhtorical answer might be,
" Because Church authorities, WHEN INFORMED, simply moved the offender to a different assignment, not telling the new parish/diocese of the probelm...again, and again, and again?"
IOW, in the one case, it was official concealment; in the other, when acts come to light, the offender is officially removed and prosecuted.
When teachers are accused of sexual abuse, educators and law enforcement authorities say, districts often rid themselves of the problem by agreeing to keep quiet if the teacher moves on, sometimes even offering them a financial settlement. The practice, called passing the trash, avoids the difficulties of criminal prosecution or protracted disciplinary proceedings.
I will add your name. An absolutely horrible story. Received virtually no media coverage, while the story of Shepard recieved uneneding media fanfare. Now it turns out the two thugs who beat the crap out of him were on drugs and didn't even know he was a homosexual.
The MSM is larded with a huge number of homosexuals.
She's pleading insanity. I'm sure this kind of thing happened in the past. It was just taken care of at a local level, without publicity or putting people on trial.
Thnks. I hadn't seen that article, and that IS exactly the same as what the major church lawsuits were based on.
Sounds like a lot of others also need suing, if that is what it takes to stop the problem.
Yeah. I know what you're saying. I guess I wouldn't have a problem with it if the woman was upholding the cannons. BUT the problem with being reasonable about everything is that eventually you have no standards, no teachings and you've finally floudered on so many tangents you don't have a church at all. Church is not the place for personal agendas.
I don't follow the latest deviations in churches. I'm still watching the apples spoil from the inside out over gay marriage.
"Miklosovic has a "nontraditional family," a neighbor told the paper, living with another woman and their adopted son...The Chronicle said Miklosovic, who has worked for the district three years, was highly regarded by staff and students..."
How in the world can they publish those two statements about the same person?
A rug-muncher living in a perverted relationship with another was "highly regarded?"
Yo, boneheads: where there is SSAD, the young are at risk. Brand that on your foreheads, so you won't forget.
"in the other, when acts come to light, the offender is officially removed and prosecuted."
I wonder. We see some prosecution, but then, we've seen prosecution of priests, too. I wonder how much is covered up in the schools.
Back in the 60s, when I was in high school, there was a photographer who had a little shop next to the theater where lots of people hung out on Fri and Sat nights.
One day he just disappeared. The word was that he had tried to put his hand on the wrong boy, and got a quiet visit from someone who convinced him that his best chance to see another birthday was to disappear, pronto.
Generally, it's tough if not impossible to sue the government. And the public schools aren't in the media's crosshairs.
Because priests molest children as a result of the Church's outmoded policy of priestly celibacy (even though most of the cases of abuse involved the abuse of teenage boys, and that public school teachers abuse children at a much higher rate).
The media won't let facts get in the way of their dogmatic beliefs.
In Boston the media has taken the double-standard to the next level by criticizing the Church on a daily basis for closing schools and parishes as a result of the financial damages awarded against the Church.
That's my point. I'm watching for clues of the quid pro quo between the nea and lawyers, or the implicit threat of retaliation, or whatever Faustian bargain has been struck that creates these conditions.
It's time to repeal the Double Standard.
The first law of homosexuality:
'Homosexuals don't reproduce, they recruit
The third law of homosexuality:
Any exposure of children to homosexual behavior is child abuse
Sodomites should be banned from all contact with children. (Something on the order of a leper colony should do nicely)
Response: This headline should read: "Lesbian teacher whipped, then hung in non-pagan punishment."
I think every woman had a lesbian gym teacher in high school. The female gym teacher in my school was certainly rumored to be one.
I've read the standards or requirements for those entering the teaching profession from the late 1800s - early 1900s. There were more concerns about personal moral character than there were about academic qualifications. I wish I had the lists to post.
Not that the academic standards weren't there, but the high moral character required was considered just as important. People understood that children need protection from degrading and polluting influences, and a person with poor moral behavior is not a good example and will influence children.
Children are like delicate plants - a plant bent when the stem is tender may never grow straight.
