This teacher sleeping with a student at her Christian school highlights an inconvenient reality. Many parents spend their hard earned dollars, sometimes at great hardship to enroll in private Christian “places of learning” with the expectation of isolation from morals they don’t like. The reality is that they hurt the public system for a moral fallacy.
Christian Schools do not isolate children from the realities of society while it siphons necessary funds from public schools in many cases. Teacher-student sex abuse if not an epidemic is coming to light from all corners.
The Roseburg News-Review reports the following.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Springfield Christian school teacher last week for allegedly having sexual contact with a student.
The woman, Andrea Nicole Baber, 29, was arrested by deputies on Friday at her home, which has a Cottage Grove postal code but is located near Curtin in Douglas County.
According to deputies, Baber allegedly began a “sexual relationship” with a 15-year-old male student in 2016, which continued “on a regular basis.” Deputies said Baber also provided the minor with marijuana and alcohol, according to court documents.
The allegations were first reported to law enforcement last week after the boy’s father received an anonymous email asking whether he knew his teenage son was having sexual contact with Baber, according to court documents. Attached to the email were several photos of Baber and the boy in bed together.
According to court documents, Baber and the teenager were caught in bed by Baber’s husband on Dec. 5.
On Dec. 15, deputies arrested Baber on suspicion of third-degree rape, third-degree sodomy, contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor, first-degree online sexual corruption of a minor and unlawful delivery of marijuana to a person under 18 years of age.
These types of stories serve the purpose of breaking the facade in a non-hypothetical manner for those who buy into what many of these schools are selling, underpaid, many times unqualified teachers teaching our most precious resource, our children to enrich a few as they claim the Lord. Religious learning belongs in the church and secular education in public schools. That is how we maximize necessary and optional instructing of everyone.
