No, that's not the reason he was elected. The story, reported in The Rutland Herald by David Mace, is about a teacher, Wayne Nadeau, at Lamoille Union High School in Hyde Park, Vermont, who was discovered having sex with a colleague in his classroom.
According to the Jan. 29 agreement between Nadeau and the Vermont Department of Education, Nadeau admitted that during the 2001-02 school year he had consensual sex with a female paraprofessional in his classroom.
As written, the intimate tutelage does not appear to be an isolated incident. And it seems he had sex with a subordinate.
"Although the door to Mr. Nadeau's classroom was closed, the aforementioned sexual activity occurred at times when students were, and might have been, present in the building," the agreement said.
His license was suspended for 20 working days between Feb. 10 and March 18, and the suspension was reported to national authorities.
The Vermont Department of Education was apparently satisfied with the agreed resolution to the case. That was last winter.
However, in July, Mr. Nadeau attended the National Convention of the National Education Association and was elected to the executive board of the 2.7-million member union and it appears that the people who elected him were not aware of his steamy sexual soiree and subsequent suspension.
There's been some complaining, but it looks like the issue will die. It follows logically that the liberal NEA would not be concerned with a man having sex with a subordinate female in the workplace. After all, they endorsed Bill Clinton, who set the standard for this type of behavior.
