In Bed with Susie Bright 479: Can Teachers Be Fired for Dating Online?

A man posts a personal sex ad on Craigslist. No problem, right? Except this guy is a teacher, and it seems his private life is not private. After a complaint to the police from an anonymous caller, our teacher removed the ad. But it didn't end there; he was fired. Susie finds the decision of the court over this case to be so misguided, she's breathing fire. She looks at what they called "vulgar" and "inappropriate" and calls the firing a witch hunt by repressed men who are holier then thou. Give us a break! Justice has not been served.

Next, Semengate. That's right, there's a big controversy over one surgeon's studies into the therapeutic power of semen. Dr. Lazar Greenfield wrote about how nature and semen work together to create a stronger bond between men and women. Sounds okay… until he joked that, on Valentines Day, "We [now] know there's a better gift for that day than chocolates." Lame jokes aside, Susie has a lot to say about the science behind the studies.

Then, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a man who says, "My ex demands that I lecture my son against porn. Help. I was reading Playboy magazines as a young man, and I think it's okay. What can I do?"
