By Alex Dobuzinskis LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A Los Angeles area high school teacher has been suspended over a social media rant in which he said male students who reportedly had sex with two of his female colleagues should have kept their “stupid mouths shut” about the experience, a school official said on Friday.
