I was in high school 40 years ago, graduated in 1970. I did much worse also, on my own. The school did not aid or abet me in the decisions, and they were correct then, and they are correct now to suspend the teacher.
What students choose to do on their own is just that, their own. The school's responsibility is to promote wholesome environments for the kids. Hooters is not it, as the restaurant admits is main concept is "sex appeal". The fact that some teens go there in no way makes it a good decision for the school, as you and I both admit as teens we made choices that were worse than those the school would have made. The school should not have supported our poor decisions then, nor should it today. The day the school administrators start letting the students set the policies of wholesome behavior, they are doomed. Can't have it, the kids are not old enough to make good decisions all the time, as you and I admit we didn't make good decisions all the time.
Can we really compare 1970's High School and Societal Norms and Taboos with this situation. A lot has changed in 40 years. But then again one could say a lot hasn't changed as well.
