Why wasn’t Bowe making friends with adults his age? Being in the banking business for years, he must have understood CYA.

There was a rumor that a teacher at PCHS had been accused of doing something inappropriate to a student in their office while the door was closed. The rumor held that the teacher was found innocent, but had to agree to leave their office door open ever since whenever a female student was in the office with them. Dale almost certainly knew this rumor/allegation, and yet he chose to not exercise due caution.

Even Ms. Linda Mann would go to great lengths to not be alone with a student. I believe this was an exercise in good judgement and prudence to be beyond reproach.

Billy Graham reportedly wouldn’t even sit alone with Hillary Clinton because he wanted to be beyond reproach. So he avoided there ever even possibly being a situation where he could be accused.

On the other end of the risk management spectrum we have Dale Bowe. He is alleged to have invited a student to use his hot tub while they were alone in his house. I would swear under oath that he made the same invitation to me many years ago, and that it made me feel quite uncomfortable. And, according to the police reports, there was more than just invites to his house, but even trips in his car alone to Disney. Isn’t the invitation crossing the line?

Have you been through sexual harrasment training at work? Imaging applying that training to a school environment. Think it’s okay to bring a student home with you now, alone? Think again!

Please, wake up. This kind of behavior is creepy. It’s odd. It lacks sound judgement. The man should have had friends his age to hang out with instead, or he should have always been around other adults with these children.
