Hidden: Title 9 in action?: It would seem that what's good enough for the male gym teacher is good enough for the female one too. Nothing like equality in sports...or in getting out of them.

I don't know what this story has to do with Title IX, but aside from the fact that that scheme was clumsy and penny-ante, I'd be surprised if this didn't happen everywhere.

Or actually getting out of said sports.

Man, I teach English at the community college level: 30 (students) x 72 (hours a semester) = $2160.00 extra a semester. Why didn't I think of this?

Why does this keep happening in Florida? Is it happening everywhere, and Florida teachers are just the only ones stupid enough to get caught? This keeps up, I'm gonna have to start telling people I was born in Alabama or Mississippi. Well, maybe that's a bit drastic.
