@PhilosophyExp ...question the black-and-white notions people have and expect to be called an apologist for whatever it is.

@PhilosophyExp And the science/religion incompatibility question is a harder question than people think.
.@NotungSchwert FWIW, this is the piece I wrote about your friend. As I said, it was ludicrous that she was jailed. http://bit.ly/15ElZhy

@PhilosophyExp Thanks for this - I agree with you on it. Much better than Melanie Phillips' article! ;) -
@PhilosophyExp I can understand the parents being peeved that a teacher took their daughter to Paris without telling anyone though. -
@NotungSchwert Sure, but you don't go to prison just because you've pissed off some parents! -
@PhilosophyExp I was surprised that the parents would want to send their daughter's lover to jail, for loving their daughter. -
@PhilosophyExp But the interesting thing about this case (and perhaps similar ones) was that a genuine debate took place - I suspect if... -
@PhilosophyExp the teacher was male there would have been a stronger urge and more pressure to outright condemn it. -
@NotungSchwert Yeah. More suspicion, perhaps justified, that a male teacher would have been predatory, exploitative. Thing is, though...
