Sunday School teacher, what does this imply?

This morning as I was reading CNN about the fight over Bush's judical nominees, a headline caught my eye "Fight centers on Sunday School teacher" and I wondered, is there a precived stereotype of what it means to be a Sunday School teacher? Priscilla Owen the judge whom this article was about is being labeled " a Sunday school teacher". Is that who she is simply a judge and a Sunday school teacher? Does that mean that she is automatcally a good, moral person because she teaches Sunday school? Maybe it is different in the evangical churches, but in any church I have ever been involved in, we ask for volunteers to teach Sunday school, some do it for many years, others once in their lifetime, but I don't ever remember refering to one of these volunteers as a Sunday school teacher when describing them to someone. That the press would key so heavily on one aspect of judge Owen's life leads me to beleive that this was emphaised on her bio coming from the White House. I may be wromg on that, but it seems to fit with their complaint that those fillerbusting are doing so against people of faith, and besides ordained ministers who is a truly a person of faith but your sunday school teacher. For someone who works in a church maybe I am being too cynical, but this moral superiority of the Christian Right really bothers me.
