I can’t comment tonight…I’m locked in my East Brunswick bathroom doing a Brazillian Wax. I figured I’d better get one in before they come looking for my wax and melting pot. I don’t want a waxing citation, I’d have to plead BALD. On the bright side, I promise not to do this in front of a classroom.

well, i don't equate "okay" with "non-criminal". i don't think it's a great idea for teachers to sleep with their students, and if they break the rules and do it anyway, it seems reasonable that they lose their job. it does not seem reasonable to me for them to be thrown in jail for sex that the kid called consensual. when i was 15 (hell, when i was 13) i was up for balling a couple of my teachers, and found ways to let them know about. i never did get lucky on that one -- but if i did, they sure wouldn't have deserved to get locked up for it. to me the whole idea of "statutory rape" is imbalanced. that is the concept that it's "impossible" for sex to be consensual until you have reached a certain predefined age. in other words, what would be categorized as a rape and punishable by prison time if it occurs one day before your birthday, would not be a criminal act if it occurs one day after your birthday. that is just bullshit, and the ages chosen are unreasonably high. i don't believe i'm holding a double standard -- i think the stat rape laws suck equally for men and women, gay and straight. we need a little more common sense in this area. criminalizing a human action that those on both sides wanted and enjoyed simply does not make sense. jackie sheelers last blog post..the tunes we fiddle while america is burning

Would it be okay for a male teacher to fuck his 15-year-old female student? Of for a gay or lesbian teacher to have sex with a 15-year-old student? Or is there a double standard here?
If a teacher-student liaison comes to light, the school administration should handle it with privacy and try counseling before calling in the authorities, unless some law requires reporting such an affair.
Teaching can have an erotic element to it, but it’s up to the teacher to exercise control to prevent eros from corrupting the teacher-student relationship. Eros aside, the teacher needs to be in a position to evaluate a student’s work impartially.

The kid was actually stinking up a school bus, but is suspension necessary? Farting is only funny until it turns wet and then it becomes humiliation. One day the kid will shit all over himself and end the comedy aspect. So a 22 year old is tugging on his sausage in a classroom with the door closed. Bad location for a little morning relief, but is it me or is 22 a little young to teaching school? Pussy waxing, advil in the ass... it's more examples of Christian right wing loons trying to gain control of other peoples' bodies. Collins last blog post..Back on the Fiction Horse
