Teacher Has "Flirtatious" Online Relationship w/ Student - No Charges

Wow. Just Wow!  Following is an article from the Vancouver Sun regarding an ex-Olympian charged with having a "flirtatious" online relationship with a student.  So many things wrong with this story.

The boyfriend of the student reported the disgusting emails from the teacher.  The teacher then creates a private email address and CONTINUES the relationship after being confronted by his school.  Wow!

Guess what happened to the teacher? Charges were dropped!  And the student states how "gross" she feels and transfers schools.

Please read the article HERE

I want to know who is standing up for these kids?  Disgusting!

Politics and Campaigning In Elementary Schools?

The following article from 24 Hours illustrates how politics are invading our classrooms and schools.  Adrian Dix and others have been caught distributing promotional materials in the schools.  What really bothers me about this is that the principals of the schools allow this to occur and has been occurring for quite some time now.  I applaud Patti Bacchus on her firm position that this should not happen regardless of who you are.

I'd like to know what the regulations are on the distribution of materials in school districts.  There needs to be a provincial conversation.  As we see by what's happening in Chilliwack with the distribution of Bibles, we need provincial regulations.  This can not be left up to the districts anymore.
