As a pro-c, my crimes were basically committed in alignment with my own sense of values and right and wrong. Until reading this I had assumed you were simply misguided and gave in to temptation. Your public interview suggested as much. But here something new is emerging: self-justification. Did you think it acceptable as a teacher to have your students refer to you using the informal address and seek out sexual relationships with them? You were abundantly clear in that same interview that you were the initiator. If all of this actually reflects your values, then I guess your values are perfectly fine with what most would call professional misconduct. Note: it would be called that even with respect to adult students, say at a university. There's a difference between being pro-c (and even acting on it) and crossing professional boundaries with students who have been put into your care. That school didn't hire you to be a BL (or straight or gay or doglover), they hired you to be a teacher, and by crossing those boundaries you failed at both. The fact that you're now trying to walk back your failures with these bizarre self-justifications is honestly just pitiful. |
