Apparently, if you write erotica, you’re incapable of also being a teacher?
A series of racy romance novels by an author named Judy Mays are a little too racy for some parents in our area, especially now that they have discovered the woman known as Judy Mays is teaching their children. (read more)
In case you didn’t click through to read the rest of the story, here’s the gist: Judy is a high school teacher who writes “erotic romance novels” in her free time. She didn’t bring them to school, talk about them at school, or even make it public knowledge at all. She wrote under a pen name and was only “caught” because her author website has a P.O. box in her hometown as a way of contacting her and she was on a video on YouTube talking about her books.
If you want to get really riled up, check out what some of the parents are saying in this video.
Yeah, they accused her of being a pedophile in a round-about way. What?!?!
They are teaching their children that sexuality is shameful, and that, to me, is scary. It’s that kind of parent that ends up with pregnant teens because they are never taught anything about using condoms and exploring sexuality safely – they are taught that abstinence is the only answer (and we all know how well that works).
I rarely write about news-related topics here, but this really makes me sick to my stomach. From all the comments I’ve seen from former students on the various news pieces, she is a damn fine teacher. If she’s not allowed to continue teaching, I hope she sues the pants off the school board and everyone involved.
My blood is seriously boiling right now.
