I can "almost" understand the drinking, but it was wrong, and by itself cause for dismissal - It's the taking off of pants that leaves baffled, somehow that's a good thing to do?
Is it an Oklahoma thing?
I wouldn't know about Oklahoma. The closest I've ever been there is when I was in Missouri a few times. As for the drinking, this is something that can vary greatly from one person to another. I was once at a bar with a female friend (actually more of a friend of my sister.) She had two drinks and actually fell off the bar stool totally drunk. I'd had the same amount or even more and could not feel much of anything. Some people just shouldn't drink at all, IMO. It can lead to crazy behavior like the would-be teacher. When she took off her pants, she probably didn't even know what she was doing. Once again, some people should never drink under any circumstances. In fact, I'd add my ex-brother-in-law to that list.
By the way, where are you getting that I'm saying taking off the pants was a good thing to do? I'm not following you on that. Of course, if someone can drink, can get by with it, not get caught, and not do anything crazy, that's wrong, too. But it doesn't necessarily have to cause any problems. I'm sure there are people who drink in secret and never do anything out of the ordinary or anything wrong even on their job. I wouldn't recommend it, but obviously there are people who do it. On the other hand, someone taking off their pants in school is very bad, needless to say. Even if the woman was drunk and didn't know what she was doing, she should never be allowed to teach ever again anywhere after the pants incident. I don't know about the legal aspects of that, but she should definitely lose her teacher's license (and I suspect she will.)
