Teacher who cartwheeled without underwear given probation

PAWHUSKA, Okla. (AP) — A former substitute teacher in Oklahoma who exposed herself to students when she did a cartwheel while wearing a long skirt but no underwear has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge.

Lacey Sponsler pleaded guilty Monday to assault after the charge was reduced from indecent exposure. She was given a two year suspended sentence and can't teach for two years. She will not have to register as a sex offender.

Sponsler declined comment. Defense attorney Nathan Milner told KTUL TV that Sponsler believes the incident was "blown out of proportion" and is glad the case is over.

Sponsler was charged in February after allegedly performing a cartwheel in which she exposed herself during a high school choir class in Pawhuska, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northeast of Oklahoma City.

Why not just ban her from substituting?

Why not just scream IDIOT at her?

Once there was a donkey at an assembly promoting a local fair and it got a huuuuge stiffy. The elementary school kids were too young to appreciate the comedy or understand why the teachers were in stitches. Personally I had little hands from boys and girls going up my legs all the time. At first I was surprised but got used to it when I realized that 6 year olds are very tactile and wanted to "feel my soft legs" when they sat on the floor around my teacher chair. They weren't accustomed to black tights and they were fascinated.

Or if there isn't, maybe there should be, like Zoloft or the like.

Who goes commando in a skirt?

for centuries. Doing it in a public school marks the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. She must have got the idea from Ol' Man Willie on the Simpsons.

...under a kilt would be absolute torture.

A handsome guy in a kilt is the ultimate in sexy, IMO, especially if tall and slender with broad shoulders.
