Umm, Maybe we should just let teachers rape students...

Editorialist references a case where a 49 year old school teacher, Stacey Rambold, received a thirty day jail sentence for raping a 14 year old student who later killed herself and then goes on to argue that sex between students and teachers should not be a crime.

Sex between students and teachers should not be a crime
…our society needs to have an uncensored dialogue about the reality of sex in schools.

As protesters decry the leniency of Rambold’s sentence — he will spend 30 days in prison after pleading guilty to raping 14-year-old Cherice Morales, who committed suicide at age 16 — I find myself troubled for the opposite reason. I don’t believe that all sexual conduct between underage students and teachers should necessarily be classified as rape, and I believe that absent extenuating circumstances, consensual sexual activity between teachers and students should not be criminalized. While I am not defending Judge G. Todd Baugh’s comments about Morales being “as much in control of the situation” — for which he has appropriately apologized — tarring and feathering him for attempting to articulate the context that informed his sentence will not advance this much-needed dialogue.

If I  told someone at my job that they are dressed nice and look sexy, I'd be out the door before you can say sexual harassment lawsuit, with 49 old teachers and 14 year old student though you need to [b]understand the extremely nuanced continuum of sexual interactions.[/b]

Thank you Washington Post for explaining it all.  Thank you.
