sex education in brooklyn

I usually get sick to my stomach when I hear the letters ACLU.  However, in the case of Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito, I hope the group comes to their aide after they were unjustly fired from James Madison High School in Brooklyn for an alleged lesbian encounter.  School custodians and security agents claimed to have found the two naked in a classroom during a evening school function.  An arbitrator ruled Ms. Mauro's defense was "lacking in basic truthfulness" and the entire incident degeneratated into she said/she said bickering between teachers and an assistant principal.  I'm sure there are teachers all over America who are lesbians and I'm certain some of these teachers are in relationships with each other.  If these women are good teachers and are not interfering with students' education, who cares?  Does a person's sexual orientation have anything to do with their ability to do their job?  No, it doesn't.  This is a witch hunt.  There is no better way to describe it.  It's apparent this high school has not realized we are in the year 2011.  Maybe the faculty and staff of James Madison High School in Brooklyn, and not the students, are the ones in need of sex education classes.
