Opening Arguments

School daze

If this isn't a cautionary tale, I don't know what is. Be careful about where you do what you do:

As students and staff returned to Sandridge Elementary School from spring break Monday, the school's former principal publicly apologized to his wife of 30 years and said the "persons who invaded my privacy need to be held accountable."

The words were Leroy Coleman's first about the explicit DVD that began to circulate last week and showed the former Sandridge Elementary District 172 administrator and a former science teacher having sex in a school office.

The recording showed Coleman, a 56-year-old Flossmoor resident, and science teacher Janet Lofton, a 41-year-old resident of Lynwood, engaged in sexual activity at various times and dates in what appeared to be December and January.

Another woman, identified as teacher's aide and substitute teacher Anjayla Reed, also appears in the recording on a separate occasion being hugged and touched by Coleman.

All three educators resigned their positions last week.

I feel for the guy -- that public apology must have been something to behold. But he's complaining his privacy was violated? Granted we have shrinking zones of privacy it is proper to be concerned about, and further granted that putting stuff on a DVD went a little far, doing something in a public school should not give one a great expectation of privacy.
