The Sound of the Crowd

You’re not gonna believe this one

Courtesy of Pandagon, the newest blog added to my daily rotation…

“…story from the Chicago Sun Times about a girl that is suing her high school and a teacher for slandering her to her fellow students when she was hospitalized for mononucleosis and hepatitis. A teacher at the school decided that her student’s illness was a great launching point for a ‘lesson’ on slut-spotting.”

(excerpt from the Chicago Sun-Times story follows in bold)

An hour later, the suit says, Vandertuuk asked a class to pray for Alvarado, describing her illness and where she was hospitalized.

An hour after that, the suit said, Neary led a class discussion about Alvarado, telling them the “number one” group to get mononucleosis was “sexually active girls.”

When a student asked if “whores” get that disease, the lawsuit claims that Neary replied, “Yes.”</b>

Y know…I’ve known sluts. I’ve slept with sluts. Sluts have been friends of mine. Kissing does not make you a slut.
