Brickbat: That Was Just the Alcohol Talking

New York City school teacher Shannon Hall has been charged with sexual abuse, forcible touching, aggravated harassment and endangering the welfare of a child after police said he sexted one of his students at Jamaica Gateway to the Sciences High School and groped another. Police said he texted one 14-year-old repeatedly, saying he wanted to kiss her and have sex with her. He also repeatedly apologized when she confronted him, saying he was drunk at the time. Police said that when they were investigating those texts they found he had also touched the breasts of another student.

Shannon Hall will give The Donald a run for His money, running in 2024 for the office of Pussy-Grabber in Chief!
You need to be a billionaire to go around grabbing genitalia. A school teacher can't even grab boobies.
You're talking about 14 year old girls...
It's fine. It's just locker room talk.
Make him a close neighbor of Larry Nassar. Or a roomie.
Sounds like he should be able to frame it as a pop quiz on sexuality and gender identity and it will be perfectly fine. If taking kids to a strip club is fine this isn't too far removed.
five year-olds w/drag queens kewl but teachers and teenagers no.
Shannon is a man?
