Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, but it's terrible thinking that means looking at a kid getting violated as part of their culture. I am kind of afraid that Mr. S. will cross the line from Skeevy Older Guy to Full-on Perv.

she suspected having sexual relationship with students. For years she tried to get evidence but never could. She finally did (by walking in in him with 2 different students at 2 different points in the SAME DAY).

DUDE. Seriously?!? If you get walked in on doing something illegal and immoral earlier in the day, you still have the balls to do it AGAIN, with someone ELSE, later in the day?!? WTF, dude.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

with someone ELSE, later in the day?!? WTF, dude.

Well, obviously he was interrupted the first time. Der.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes. And at school. (FYI, we're talking high school here.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, my mother thinks she went to college with your aunt. Bryn Mawr 1971? And my mother says my grandparents knew "the Ransohoffs" (which, not sure) well.

Kathy? Of it might have been one of their cousins - Sally, Lela, or Martha.

There are also an awful lot of 2nd cousins it could be...

(And then, because there was a Ransohoff-Westheimer marriage in 2 separate generations, there are several branches of both families where the relationships get really hard to map. I went to college with a girl who was my 3rd and 4th cousin, from different sides of the family.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged.

This is why buildings should only be named after people who are dead.

Ultimately, I think this is a reflection of the corrupting nature of big money college sports. After years of turning a blind eye to supporters' supplying cars, apartments, cash and hookers to top players and to professors passing athletes who can't read, your vision gets cloudy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just read an article on HuffPo that makes me think this story is going to get worse.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Liese, those are awesome!!

Not a guarantee, but a good start.
