Just over the past week, like their female counterparts, who have been molesting students at a phenomenal rate, male teachers are getting arrested with child porn. One male teacher, 35, in California, was caught messaging a 14 year old student and kept a large database of child porn; an Illinois teacher and coach, 26, was arrested for possession of child porn; another California teacher, 49, was indicted for porn possession and molesting a 14 year old boy; yet another California teacher, 44, was arrested when child porn was found on his school-issued lap-top; and a special-ed teacher in Colorado was charged with child porn possession. Again, these are not unusual or extraordinary cases; and they only represent a few of the numerous investigations, arrests, and indictments which made up the past week. There are countless others. In these incidents, all the perpetrators were men; as opposed to the recent spate of numerous female teachers molesting their male and female students. This all stinks of the porno-ization of the teacher-student relationship. Although much of this stuff is legally-issued porn, it is really indistinguishable from actual illegal child-porn: through the casting of very young-looking actors. Because of our inaction on the problem of porn, we have put our children at risk. Now, it goes something like this: “Children…meet your new teacher: Mr. Norman Bates.”
