Teacher-Student Sex

Rules regarding teacher-student sexual relations were stirred last week when the Arkansas Supreme Court overturned a state law banning sexual contact between teachers and those high school students who are age 18 and older. The court reasoned that the law was unconstitutional.

In contrast, most states are legislating in the opposite direction - making any teacher-student sex, regardless of age of the student, illegal while in high school.

From a practical perspective, the Arkansas ruling allows aggressively lustful teachers to legally sample the teen buffet by simply waiting for an 18th birthday party. Frankly, I suspect that less-than-ethical Arkansas teachers will be cutting candidates from the student body in junior, sophomore and freshman years for grooming.

Thanks to several tipsters on this story.
