Two people were caught having sexual intercourse in one of the conference rooms in the library and they were not dismissed for doing this.  I think this school has some serious problems with ethical standards.

I'm sure if you've lived in bigger cities you would notice more crime going on....I lived in Iowa for 20 years....but now that I've lived in Norfolk Virginia for five years and I've had my car broken into twice, I've been held up at gunpoint, and I had a psycho girlfriend that slashed my tires....I'm sure it's not as bad as you think

If the book is deliberatley written to degrade any one person or group of persons it should be censored. That is both morally and socially wrong and should never be done. I have been a victim of literature degradation and no one should have to go through that.

its a damn shame really. A teacher cannot discipline her students cause of liberalism of todays world. Remember these kid when you get older and remember who did this. Not to students but the liberals. You keep getting good grades and being a good student. Its good to know that there are at least some kids still trying out there.

Because porn comes from so many different sources, both amatuer and professional, that enforcing this law would be almost impossible.  Not to mention, how are you going to enforce this law in places out side of the US? Especially when you consider that not all places and people consider porn to be morally wrong.\n\nOn a side note,I have recently heard a rumor saying that ezekielsdreams has achieved one of the lowest possible scores on a recent IQ test.  Initially, I dismissed this rumor as nothing more then rumor, however after seeing his statement above I am beginning to wonder...

Schools arent disrespectful........Students are.

I think whoever got her pregnant would be in more trouble, dependant on their age. If the guy is over 18, then that could be classed as statutory rape. As far as being expelled from school, i dont think they can do that under grounds of discrimination, however, it all depends on school policy. If she is already showing and hasnt been expelled yet, chances are that they are not going to.

Fortunately, I've never dealt with someone actively molesting a child in a religious organization/setting.  On the other hand, as a youth leader of an organization for teens, I actively watched and made decisions to help identify and protect the young people entrusted to me by their parents.  It's always best to try to avoid getting into the situations before they happen rather than dealing with the consequences afterwards.

If I were a girl, it wouldn't have happened! \nHonestly, I doubt the validity of your question. It all depends from instituion to institution. There are colleges of all kinds. And they have the liberty to implement such rules and regulations. One reason might be that girls' colleges are not much active in student politics ...and hence they don't dominate in such trivial internal issues.

if there would be a child in a public school who would take drugs, steal, etc. etc. all after hours, the principal would have the full authority and right to expel this child from school, being that what is done after hours can have and does have an effect on the friends of this child in school. now being that in this private school there are certain standards, they don't want other kids to be influenced by such behaviour, and therefore although i'm not comparing what this girl is doing to drugs, however the concept is the same.

in my school we have a dark room in the library that almost nobody knew about.  you would walk in spin the door around and it would open in the dark room.  you just stood there. and when i was a freshmen the seniors one day at lunch sold a ticket to all the freshmen that would buy, saying that it was good for one ride on the "freshman elevator" then they blindfolded them put them in the rotating door and locked them in the dark room.  no harm done.  seniors got rich. freshman looked like idiots.

I think that books like the one you are talking about should be in public libraries where parents can check them out to read together with their child when the time is appropriate. It's better than banning them outright.  \nI'm coming at this question as a former librarian and a parent of two sons.  I get upset when some people want books banned just because they object to the content.  I believe that they have the right not to read the book or tell their children not to read the book, but not to keep others from having access.  In reality, many animals are homosexual, a fact that has been downplayed if not actually hidden by those in control of education.(See article in source.) If more children knew that things like that happen for real, maybe fewer of our young people would ruin thier lives instead of thinking they can never tell their parents if they happen to be gay.\n I believe in telling children the truth when they ask about a certain situation.  If they know enough to ask, they are old enough to understand a simplified version.  The first time my children asked about where babies came from, I told them the truth without graphic details.  As they grew up, I explained it to them more fully and bought them reference books to make sure they had the truth and not just what they heard from their friends.    Maybe if parents didn't condemn things out of hand, maybe their children would actually talk to them instead hiding everything.  I actually knew people who killed themselves rather than let their parents know they were gay and both of their parents were upset that their children hadn't felt they could confide their secret.

I remember reading "Naked Lunch" and in the beginning there was a section describing the trial held on whether to decide to ban the book. In the end the book was not banned because it was determined to have some value for society. Essentially I think something is obscene if it offers nothing beneficial, only something negative once you experience it.

Yes.  That is very reasonable.  If the breach wasn't intentional, then it was careless.  I know if I was a patient I would want them to fire someone that was careless with my confidentiality.

First off, you said you had someone looking to see if she was ever re-charged.  If they let her go, why are they going to recharge her?!  Your Kansas City Star article title excerpt was from when this woman was FREED, not charged.  \n\nAnd secondly, the only reason you're looking is because some guy is going around being HIV+ and having sex with women.  It has nothing to do with being a sexual predator.  You never stated whether or not the women this guy had sex with did it voluntarily (not knowing he was HIV+).  Otherwise, wouldn't you have worded that a man was being charged with raping women while HIV+.  \n\nWomen in general should be required the meet the same standards as men, but should it matter if she's in your neighbourhood?  Just keep your kids away from strange ladies and you shouldn't have a problem.

I think that it is extremely important. People need to feel like it's OK to put themselves out there and make a mistake. It's impossible to learn anything without goofing up every once in a while. Creating this kind of environment boils down to one thing, respect. If you respect your students, and don't tolerate your other students disrespecting each other it will facilitate their learning.
