The journey from there to here

Elizabeth Logan is scum. No, scratch that. Take scum, examine it, and find the bacteria that feed on scum. Then find whatever parasites feed on THEM, and you'll have a picture of this woman.

The Hillsboro, Oregon first grade teacher apparently decided to profit off the school's lost and found bin. She took the coat of an eight year old and tried to auction it on eBay. She now faces felony charges.

Now, I can understand someone who's desperate being tempted to cheat a little to make money. Heck, it's a tough world to live in sometimes, and while you want to keep your head above water, sometimes it can be hard. But I cannot for the life of me imagine a teacher who would sell the jacket of a schoolchild in her school for the few extra dollars the jacket might bring. While teacher's unions will submit that teachers are horribly under paid, even they would not go so far as to say that those teachers are destitute. A teacher's salary may not be a king's ransom, but it is nowhere near low enough to justify theft. And even a pauper, one would hope, would have a better sense of morality than to steal from a child.

Ms. Logan's ebay rating is 1224 (she is no longer a registered user, and I think we know why). One can only wonder how many of her other sales (also clothing, from what can be seen of recent feedback) was stolen from people. And the haul she got that may land her in jail and at the very least has cost her her career? A whopping $46.

Umm...I don't think bacteria have parasites, but there are predatory bacteria...so that works.

You just couldn't afford a powerful enough microscope

Not a smart teacher that one.

She sounds like she has some sort of compulsion.  I understand stealing Celebrities stuff, but a childs?  I think she is just a sick puppy - but regardless, no I would not want her teaching my children!  ADA or no ADA!
