Two Slidell Teachers Arrested For Sexual Assault

This is another story where the reporting is almost as infuriating as the story itself.

They never use the words "rape" or "sexual assault," which is what it's called when teachers have sex with the children in their care.  It's child molestation.  Maybe because it's women, they're calling it "sexual misconduct" and "having inappropriate relations with students."  The latter term really infuriates me.  That's not a thing.  That's victim-blaming, assigning consent to someone who couldn't possibly provide it.

Staff and students had both complained about Wingerter for years.  That's no different than every male teacher accused of sexually assaulting students when I was growing up.  Boat rockers got punished in my day, not rapey teachers.

The charges are "sexual conduct between an educator and student" and "indecent behavior with a juvenile."  So res ipsa loquitur on both counts, the thing speaks for itself all the way around. 

Both women stand accused of sexual contact with multiple male students.  This had been reported by multiple people.  It's alleged that nothing was done because of who Wingerter is within the school board and who she is related to.
