A conundrum for us all to ponder from the "is it me?" category...
Let's take a trip to Theoretical Island, and let's say you're a teacher in a quasi-Catholic school system. Your kid goes to junior prom, then has a bunch of friends over afterwards to hang out in your house/back yard to build a fire and "make s'mores."
Do you:
A. Say no, because it's late, it's prom night, and you never know with kids these days....
B. Say yes, and discreetly monitor the activities to ensure nothing untoward is going on
C. Join in the festivities and provide the alcohol to the 16-18 year olds as well as the graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey bars; or
D. Go to bed and tell the kids to have fun while a few dozen teenagers are at your house on prom night, and then feign shock when the cops are beating on your door and arresting drunken teenagers who are rampaging through the neighborhood on 4-wheelers you own and holding beer they got from your fridge?
Okay. Stick with me.
Let's presume, for the sake of argument, that you chose C and/or D.
Should you still be employed by the local (marginally) Catholic Diocesan school system, or perhaps at least be on leave until the investigation is complete and the charges are either proven or dropped?
IS IT JUST ME WHO THINKS SOMETHING'S ROTTEN IN DENMARK?!?
