A preemptive no

In light of the details emerging about a Brighton High School teacher busted in an Internet sex sting, I can only imagine, in fact I'm sure, there is some snickering among Brighton Collegiate parents and supporters and echoes of "See, it's not just us." STOP, BEFORE YOU EVEN START. You're right, it's not just you, adults preying on children, including teachers, happens everywhere. But this is not a competition, these our kids. Don't be so immature to turn this into a second-gradish "nanny nanny nanny boo boo" type of argument. If those thoughts are out there, I don't have to look far to find out where they originate. I was sickened by the insinuation in a Sunday Denver Post article that School District 27J is simply cracking down on BCHS because they want their building. You're kidding, right. You can't honestly believe that the 27J board looks at repeated sexual offenses (one still alleged) and says, "Maybe this is how we get our hands on that building." Grow up, everybody, please!
