Because in the '70s & '90s...

"When he went to Berkeley High in the ’70s, a teacher smoked and drank with his students and was known for dating high school girls, Trampleasure told Mage during an interview. (He gave Mage permission to share the recording with Berkeleyside.)

Trampleasure told Berkeleyside that other teachers did illegal things, too, and 'they didn’t have to hide it … nobody cared.' By comparison, when he came back to teach in the ’90s, those teachers were more discreet and the administration drew firmer boundaries.

Looking back now, Trampleasure said he wishes he had intervened, though he maintains that even today, such a photo wouldn’t necessarily be a red flag. 'I’m really sorry I wasn’t aware enough to do something about it,' he said."
