Teacher accused of sexual harassment


Los Angeles Times recently released an article stating that a Roosevelt High School teacher has been arrested for having alleged sexual relationships with two male students. Although the students are now legal adults, at the time of the sexual harassment they were underage. The first victim came out with the news once the teacher broke off the relationship they had, and recent after the second victim admitted to also having sexual relationships. This article was interesting, because although it is not the first act of sexual harassment made from a woman, it still goes against the idea of gender socialization which in our society usually sees women as victims rather than the ones practicing force over others. Nonetheless, this is a crime that needs to go punished equally as any other serious sexual harassment crime.
