Is it the simple act of hiring a prostitute for cash that bothers you in regards to his position? Or is it the fact that where he did it was illegal?
Is this any different than a former president of our country getting sex from who knows? Wasn't he also a role model?
Would this guy be more of a role model if he just went into bars and found 'a girl for the night'? Should he lose his position for that?

I am glad that he chose this route instead of the kids at school. When the news media questioned one of the kids about it, he didn't seem concerned and said that it seemed to be blown all out of proportion. (Said, "the guy just wanted to get laid.")
His crime (if he's found guilty) is not sex, but illegally buying it. Would he be fired for just any misdemeanor...I think not simply because the media would not be interested and the public would never know. Teachers are not perfect. To me,
parents as role models are much more important than the teachers. This is why kids have parents (or is supposed to be).
Little humor: I remember my boys talking about driving down "the boulevard" (which was the local area for the prostitutes) at home and asking them if they had
beginner's rates on the way by. No way would they or their friends ever have any more than that to do with them. Their response if you asked them was an incredulous, "Are you kidding??!!!"
