A Tale Of Two Teachers

In Wisconsin, a principal/coach gets busted for buying and selling pot.  From the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune:

Weeks of speculation, gossip and rumors ended in Antigo on Friday when a local football coach and principal was charged with buying and selling marijuana.
Like most residents in Antigo, Bob Stimac has known John Lund for years. Stimac and customers at his restaurant, BB Jacks, had talked about Lund for weeks since Antigo School District officials without explanation placed Lund on paid administrative leave Nov. 30.
A customer broke the news to Stimac on Friday morning.
"We all knew something was up with John, but we didn't know to that extent," Stimac said.
Lund, the principal at the Antigo West and Pleasant View elementary schools in the Antigo School District, was one of three people charged Friday in connection with a marijuana distribution ring in Langlade County. About a dozen people connected to the ring were named in a criminal complaint filed Friday in Langlade County Circuit Court after a five-month investigation by the Langlade County Sheriff's Department.

However, if the teacher lived in California or some other states, the teacher can get a license to grow pot, sell it to others and smoke it, all in the name of medicinal marijuana, and they would not only not get arrested, they would profit from it.  The teacher selling the pot would not be fired from their teaching job.  They are doing the same thing as the teacher up in Antigo was doing, except in place, it is legal and the in Wisconsin, it is not legal.
Just my opinion, but teachers should not be in the business of selling pot, no matter where they live.  If it's not legal federally, then teachers/educators should not be in the business of selling the drug.  Most school districts would not hire a porn star or a stripper, even if they are qualified, so why would they hire a pot dealer?
