David, re * In May, Kent, Wash., elementary school teacher Mary Kay LeTourneau, 35, gave birth to a baby girl, the father of whom is one of her sixth-graders. LeTourneau is the daughter of ex-U.S. Rep. John Schmitz, an intense right-wing Republican who was so notoriously opposed to sex education in schools that he would move little Mary out of any school contemplating such a program. In August, she pleaded guilty to child rape. (Unofficially, though, she admires the boy: "There was a respect, an insight, a spirit, an understanding between us that grew over time." They met when he was in second grade.)
Mary Kay LeTourneau also has a husband and several children, according to news reports. So it's not like "she didn't know what sex was because she didn't have formal sex education". This woman sounds like a borderline sociopath (ie no conscience), or at least she is mentally disturbed. I wonder what political party Mary Kay belonged to? And why is it that we see the press label some political figures as "intense right-wing Republican", but we never see the label "intense left-wing Democrat"?
I think I'm going to sue Universal Press Syndicate for Political Racism. Since my delicate sensibilities have been so rudely assaulted, that should be worth at least 40 million. -GG- |
