The school board needs to hand down some guidelines as to how to handle similar future incidents and they should probably suspend the students for a couple of days. But that is about it.

Part of the reaction is no doubt due to the sexual repression we have in this country thanks to religion. I hope the school board will handle this rationally, but based on past behavior of such bodies, where the primary directive is CYA, I doubt it. And no, that pun wasn't intended.

Also, nice work to the always sensationalistic willing to exploit teen sexuality for ratings Eyewitness News, who has made the one kid a celebrity now, which will encourage copycat incidents all over the country.

Did you read the comments at the bottom of the page. This was NOT an isolated incident for students or teachers.

Interesting that everytime a moral issue comes up on this board there are plenty of those who will say that choosing between right and wrong is no big deal. After all its not hurting anyone. Just live and let live - go with the flow. Make a joke out of morals - poke fun. Don't get stuck following old fashioned ideas.

And CA sinks further into the slime. What the heck, once everyone has their daily ration of MJ who will be left to care anyway?

Yes. Unfortunately, this is what is being taught in the public schools. Some kids have the benefit of a super great family support system that counters this but unfortunately many do not and the results are seen here. Sad, actually. Many know no different. Some are just plain amoral. More of us need to speak up against this stuff and not be intimidated by all the P.C.

Sex offenders deserve to be in jail. What she did was disgusting and you would definitely be singing a different tune if it were a male teacher sleeping with a female student. Or maybe if you considered the female teacher to be "ugly."

I have no issues with my tax dollars going towards keeping a sex offender where they belong - in jail.
