Nothing to do with politics, but this is just icky.

From the Eugene Oregon Register-Guard:
Licking case gets teacher reprimand

By Karen McCowan
The Register-Guard

BEND - The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission voted Wednesday to publicly reprimand and place Central Linn High School teacher and football coach Scott Reed on two years' probation for licking the bleeding wounds of several student athletes.

The action means that details of the case and censure will be posted on the TSPC Web site, sent to all Oregon school districts and to departments of education nationwide. Under terms of his probation, Reed is required to attend a class on the risks of blood-borne pathogens within the next two months and furnish the commission with written verification of his attendance. He is required to comply with state ethical standards for educators, and "shall not lick blood on the person of any student or co-worker."

Reed accepted the TSPC discipline in an agreement reached ahead of the TSPC's regular meeting Wednesday at the Oregon State University Cascades Campus in Bend.

In the agreement, Reed agreed to "stipulated facts" that included him licking blood from wounds on a track team member's knee, a football player's arm, and a high school student's hand. The agreement also called those actions "gross neglect of duty" and a violation of the school's blood-borne pathogens policy.

The agreement shed no light on why Reed licked blood from the students, and he did not respond to a reporter's efforts to contact him through the high school in Halsey and the Central Linn District Administration office in Brownsville.

The Linn County Sheriff's Office also investigated the case last year. No charges were filed. Sheriff Dave Burright called the behavior "bizarre" but not criminal, since the contact wasn't forced or unwelcome.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
