The place of the dominatrix in the primary school classroom

Is quite secure in the UK.

From here:

A primary school teacher who led a secret double life as a kinky dominatrix has escaped being struck off.

Faith-Anne Lesbirel advertised her services on the internet on a website called ‘Informed Consent’.

She specialised in bondage, domination, sadism and masochism (BDSM) and ‘messy play’ often involving ‘gunge’.

Using the name Mistress Saffron she boasted about being cheaper than other ‘Pro Dommes’ – slang for a professional dominatrix.

Lesbirel ran her kinky bondage sessions as a sideline while she worked at Simpson Primary School in Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, in 2008.

She was found guilty of unacceptable professional misconduct for ‘advertising sexual services on the worldwide web’ by a disciplinary hearing of the General Teaching Council (GTC).

She was told her activities ‘fell short of the standard expected of a teacher’…….

But the panel refused to strike Lesbirel off the teaching register, saying her ‘fetish activities does not make you a danger to children’.

Although  some people are cheerfully at peace with the prospect of a dominatrix teaching their little darlings, I can’t help wondering whether what a person is in one context influences what she does in another – teaching, in this case.  I’m sure the average ‘gunge’ and ‘messy play’ – whatever they are (no, I don’t want to know) – loving dominatrix obeys the law most of the time, but that alone does not make her a suitable role model – like it or not, that’s what teachers are – for children.

It’s probably only a matter of time before BDSM is taught to five year-olds as a harmless lifestyle choice, at which point this would be moot.
