The Lauderdale County School System has no shortage of "vice" groups that have spontaneously formed from time to time among its employees. The system has recently had a board member from the Central area who had a well known affinity for some serious gambling with principals and coaches. One of these principals was even discovered to have been selling school equipment to cover his gambling losses. A past superintendent and her assistant are widely reputed to have used more than one campus space for their not-so-well-hidden pattern of dalliances. It is also well known that a cabal of coaches and administrators conspired to relieve Rogers school of much of its sports equipment when they staged a break-in at the field house and then committed insurance fraud against the State of Alabama Department of Risk Management for the "stolen" gear.
All these things are just as wrong as members of a sex club engaging in group sex in a public place, and all these other offenses were committed on school grounds as well. Yes, some of the people who engaged in the vices mentioned above were terminated, but many of them were not. How LCBOE deals with errant employees just depends upon who they are and who they know, what church they attend, etc. But you can surely expect some pious, self righteous crowing over this "sex" club peccadillo, because this kind of vice is just not as palatable to the good people of Lauderdale County as gambling, theft, and simple infidelity.
Speaking of the hypocrisy of disparate treatment, the school board's Director of Special Education must find this brewing scandal to be very uncomfortable indeed, given her well known extracurricular tastes. I imagine at least a couple of her lieutenants are equally unnerved.
