Men Lining Up for Admission into John School

Well, there are mandatory parenting and driving schools. Now, there are “John schools” for men caught soliciting prostitutes. Cities are turning to John schools to curb prostitution. They might have to teach some old dogs new tricks. This week, an octogenarian was arrested in a sting targeting johns outside of Washington.

Arresting elderly johns is nothing new. Indeed, in the Washington area a couple of years ago, A 72-year-old former mayor of Dumfries Melvin “Mel” Bray was charged with “keeping a bawdy place,” a misdemeanor for running a brothel, here.
In most cities, you can graduate John school in one day. In Nashville, the classes are held in a church and run in part by former prostitutes.
