I Had to Come Check You Out, Miss "Just Passing Through"
You expressed yourself well on this touchy subject. I want to agree with you in principle on just about all you said, except on the M. Jackson thing. I still think his actions were criminal. Criminality, is a matter of knowledge and intention. But I'm still impressed with your expressions on the subject.

Yes I agree
I don't think the school is the best place to pick people up.  But as the media characterizes it as "teachers taking sexual advantage of students." I don't think that's what this particular case is.  This boy was a willing partner I think.  Sure it's a bit sick but he asked for it and he got it.  Did he have the wisdom to make such a decision?  Probably not but I just can't view this as sexual abuse.

It's very unprofessional to have sex with students.  If they want to get laid, how hard is it to go to a bar and pick someone up.  Is it necessary to go and prey on kids?  There are laws against having sex with kids.
