Liz sent me a note this morning that our old drivers ed teacher is in some hot water. The folks at Boston.com wrote about it in an article about Drivers ed rape allegations. I remember Mr. Swerling as the guy who ran the movies like Blood on the Highway. He was famous for his extra brake in the passenger seat and saying... "Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up-up-up-up-up, STOOOOOPP!!!".

He never tried to sexually assault me but I wasn't a very attractive child. In general I would have to place drivers ed teachers, sorry to malign the entire profession, in a similar category as priests. People who show movies of bloody boodies to teenagers and have the teenagers drive them to the donut shop to get coffee are definitely suspicious.

In Mr. Swerling's case the courts already decided his fate. According to the Daily News Tribune he was acquitted. I think I believe him.
