Grand jury shows some sense

If two adults want to do the nasty, it's not the law's business, even if one is a teacher and the other her student. The Texas legislature made it the law's business, but a grand jury practiced jury nullification, refusing to indict.

Now, it IS the school district's business. Getting your tail where you get your paycheck is a bad idea in general, and one can't afford to get that familiar in a situation where one has to stand in authority. And I don't understand the current rash of hottie female teachers doing their students. It's not like these ladies should have any trouble finding a partner. It might be about power, but it strikes me that the male holds all the real power in these situations, since he can turn her in.

If DESTROYING YOUR CAREER isn't a deterrent, I fail to see how jail would be either.

I saw the TV interview with one of teachers who had sex with her student. I don't think her actions were the result of power - she said it was because she was bipolar and had a troubled childhood. I agree with your statement that she would have no problem finding a partner - what a lucky kid ;)
