To borrow a post title from Shea...

Reason to homeschool # 20,398,524,049,830,394,503:


The Sexteens and the Fake Goddess is a lurid tale of striptease. It's co-author is teacher Jacques Tremblay, who was one of the most important education officials in Ontario. [...] Ontario College of Teachers discipline chair Jacques Tremblay submitted his resignation Wednesday afternoon following a Toronto Star story detailing how he wrote a soft-porn book for teens that featured inappropriate sexual conduct between teachers, students and a senior administrator.

And this is just too rich: here's the letter from Tremblay esplainin' why he wrote the smutty book:

Dear Mr. Donovan,

I understand that you’ve been trying to reach me and that you’ve expressed interest in my work outside the College, notably as an author. Over the years, I have co-authored 21 books on a variety of topics, including economics, organic wine and children’s books.

The book to which you are referring was written to start a dialogue between parents and their teenagers. It is meant to empower teenagers, to encourage them to be strong and resist or avoid peer pressure.

It has been endorsed by parents and educators.

The work is entirely separate from my work at the College and my aim to serve the public interest.

You can learn more about my role on Council from the College’s website.

Sincerely,

Jacques Tremblay

 So if guys like this are in charge of discipline, it has absolutely nothing to do with guys like this getting a slap on the wrist?
