A former high school teacher in Texas has been indicted over accusations she had sex with four of her students.
According to a September 2011 search warrant, parents of a graduate and former student of Tonya Flink, 39, reported to police that their son was living with her at her apartment.
They told police that they believed the relationship began while their son was a senior at Haltom High School in Haltom City, which is near Fort Worth.
In the same month, investigators learned of other relationships, according to the warrant.
According to the report from police, the former student in question admitted that the relationship began when he would stay after school and Flink would help him with his grades. Flirting led to Flink "pushing herself onto him," according to police.
Flink would go on to tell the student that "she loved him," that she "liked young Hispanic kids like him" and that their eventual sexual relationship involved "everything you could imagine," police said in the warrant.
Police also reported that they found evidence that Flink made at least 850 phone calls to one of the students in question over a period of a few months.
Investigators also reported that she bought clothes for some of them and that she went to the home of one of her students and secretly knocked on his back door so she could meet with him.

According to police, Flink resigned from her position as a computer technology teacher at Haltom High in August 2011, shortly before police began their initial investigation.
Flink went on to teach for a time at Carter Riverside High School in the Fort Worth Independent School District, but resigned from her position long before the district ever learned of her alleged involvement with students, a district representative said.
She was indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury.
Flink is free after posting $10,000 bond. She is due in a Tarrant County courtroom next week, according to her attorney.

Yes, I know, and I agree with everyone that for a teacher to have a relationship with a student is just awful and stinks.
Why, when I was an oversexed, young kid in high school, could I not have her as my teacher?
Life is strange....
But if a guy was banging your daughter I bet you would be pissed.
Yeah, we all know it what she did was wrong, and not in the best interests of her student's welfare. But SRK-2447627's remark is spot on. This crime has been the secret fantasy of 90% of heterosexual teenagers.
Just goes to show that what you want is not always what's good for you.
When I was in high school, we had a teacher "Miss Brookes" and when I say she was smoking hot, I mean it.
After every single period, there were like 15 dudes walking in circles around her on their way to the next class. All we ever spoke about was our fantasy's of being with her if you know what I mean.
She was an x-model. Just picture a smokin' hot librarian with her hair up. UGH!!! Sweeeet!
All the male teachers would also flock around her. It was mayhem but she loved every minute of it.....
I wonder if any of my class mates ever tagged it.... Hmmm.....
As a Father I'm horrified, as a Former High School Student I say, Sweet!... Funny how that works...
My thought as a high school student: I think its fantastic. Sex education for zero hour, intramurals, and after school programs. This kid is just needed extra help in the sex ed field. Plus, how great do these kids feel now? Their spirits are lifted, they are on top of the world, and nothing can stop them now.
My thoughts as a bachelor: Same as above. (insert sarcasm)
GM Creekdog,
Read on, man this article sure gets spun around its got it all, thus far its, guns, politics( naturally) greed, race, the whole ball on wax. All from people who think they are educated, looks like this guy has a gotten a much better education then most on here, at least he knows how to ......."stay on the subject".....so to speak.
We keep hearing about all these hot teachers who did the deed with their students, the teacher in California who was an ex-porn star, and that kind of thing.
Where the heck were these teachers when I was in school?
"...sexual relationship involved "everything you could imagine," police said in the warrant ..."
And a good time was had by all!
Appropriate name for the high school, or perhaps not, depending...
She is not bad looking at all... why did she have to resort to having sex with her students?
gm Creek Dog, Tramp
Considering the state of education in this country, the kid probably doesn't have much imagination.
Apparently, computer technology teachers don't get out much.
We had a teacher like Creek Dog talks about. She had a reputation of picking a guy from a senior class and making him her "pet (or petting) project". Three of us decided we would make a play for her... Please understand we were 18 years old and full of "energy" and hormones... (It was a long time ago... And time puts tremendous change into ones mind...) One of my buddies won our inside bet. They had a great senior year!
Problems came up when the father of my friend found out. He went to the school board and got the teacher fired. No jail / prison, only termination. My buddy and the teacher moved in together after high school. Their relationship lasted for a total of about 2 years.
They had their fun & moved on. The teacher was not prosecuted under law, but when a fuss was made, she did loose her career. Since she did nothing wrong in the eyes of the law (my friend was 18, and this was decades ago...), she moved on to a new segment of her life.
Now that I am much older, if I learned my kids have been involved with a teacher, God help me to stay in control and not track that teacher down - just allow current law to take its course. Not sure I could remain in control if I found out a teacher had taken advantage of what was not theirs to possess!
Our hot teacher at school was named Ms. Park, and she was a former beauty queen, there were even pictures of her in a bathing suit on stage.
She wore tight dresses, high heels, and bright red lip stick with her blond hair down at all times. They gym teachers would always joke about trying to get with her. She was ridiculous
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW!!!! No, wait...I got a little confused! MENTAL HEALTH NOW!!!! Yeah, that works!
Hmmm.....Aren't the vast majority of teachers Left Wing Union Member Progressives....isn't this the same bunch handing out free condoms, morning after pills, "No Parental Notification" Abortions.....
Sounds like they are pushing all these agenda's to facilitate their propensity for male and female "Young Stuff" and "protect" their careers from every possible conceivable event.....
Here's your big bag of condoms....
Oooppps, that was so wild the condom broke, so take this pill.....
and if that doesn't work...Take the little co-ed for a "Termination Procedure"....
Are Teachers allowed have their students covered by their Union Cadillac Healthcare plans on a rotating basis ????....No Deductibles and No Co-Pays, thanks to ObamaCare....
It's also the fantasy of every school age girl. So why is it treated differently when a male teacher has sex with a female student than for a female teacher to have sex with a male student. Justice and equality demand that it be treated exactly the same. Either she's a rapist or the male teachers are not.
When it's a female teacher and someones son, he's getting some hands on sex ed. When it's a male teacher and someones daughter...he's soiling someones little girl. I guess it hinges on what's left behind.
Touch my daughter I'll Kill ya, teach my son, I'll high five em. Double standard. Men understand boys, we protect girls.
When I was in high school we had a study hall teacher...same thing...she was 'wanted' by every guy I know...only the closet horn dog bible thumpers want this lady fired....

Who says sex with one of my female teachers might not have been good for me?
We need to loosen up a bit on this "age of consent" thing. A lot of the kids involved
were considered to be of "marrying age" a mere century ago. We are making much
too big a deal about this.
We should probably also loosen up on our 15 year old daughters having $ex with male teachers.
Just make d-a-m-n sure to use a contraceptive. Fair is fair.
I was fat with plastic black framed glasses, sex with one of the ugly female teachers would have been good for me!!! It would have been better then all the names I was call. No I was not bullied, I grew up I learned how to deal with it how to handle myself.
And they bawked when the porn star teach got fired.
I said it before. Tx is Ass backwards. They go after a teacher that gave in to some boys wanting to have sex with her. Who really cares about that. But wouldn't do a thing to stop AR 15's from getting into the hands of a Crazy person????? Man I can not wait for TX to leave the Union and go back to being Mexico.
@ ED, i believe the reason it is taken more seriously if the man was the teacher and the female is the student is becauce conceptually (and I use that term lightly) a woman cannot under normal circumanstances make a guy perform if he doesn't want to; whereas many females succumb to pressure or force to have sex, even if they mutually agreed upon the act. Some females are afraid to change their minds or a man persuades them to continue. We're talking about underage females here. I had a few teachers approach me succinctly in high school. I was afraid of men, so obviously I did not have that issue. But this generation of females are bold as grown women and men need not give in to temptation..those girls are poison.
Mike in Delray - get a grip and resist the urge to make this political. This article has nothing to do with any of your so-called points.
Chuck-2111043,
What state do live in that has 0 homicides and 0 guns? I can't wait for you to give your state back to the Indians. Curious.
dman-353357
Girls have crushes and fantasies on their male teachers as well. So are you ready to go out and advocate the release of all male teachers and men that have slept with underage girls?
Didn't think so.
The teacher committed a crime, and she should be locked up just as any adult male that sleeps with any underage kid.
Pedophiles are mental ill people. Whether male or female, it's not normal to desire sex with children.
I've had sex with plenty of Daddies daughters when I was in grade school and high school. THANKS DAD!!!!!!
At least 80% of the kids in my neighborhood were having sex when I was in grade school. All the guys were doing it, and there were only a few girls who hadn't had sex, and only a very few who you couldn't get in a circumstance where you could get them to do it. This of course means once they got in high school, they were young teens who have had sex.
What difference does it make if they had sex with a classmate or an adult once they were 16-17 years old? I had a couple of female teachers who came on to me when I was a freshman. But when I had a choice of either having sex with a hot, hard body 16 year old girl, or a 30 year old teacher, I went with the girl. Sex is sex, so there is no difference in who you do it with. I had all the sex I could ever want, and I've had lot's of sex as a teen, just like most others. Teens aren't little virgins just waiting to be corrupted like their parents think. It's the parents who are naive.
Pedophiles are also attracted to pre-pubescent children, which was not the case here.
Stupid lady. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Now you will be a registered sex offender, and your chosen career path is forever gone. If you wanted dangerous sex, you should have just gone to a bar and let a bunch of guys bang you in the bathroom or parking lot.
Denver Bill - an adult woman having sex with a teen boy is not a normal relationship. Men are childish enough once they reach maturity - it takes a very sick female to want to engage someone who is still legally a child.
Poor boys! They may never recover! Oh, the thought of a dislocated shoulder from all those high-fives!
every male in high school , who had a nice looking female teacher, would fantasize about her; I guess i was born way to early, it appears female teachers are sometimes drawn to Young males, it is wrong, but why the big uproar, at least he had a good teacher at a early age, better than getting some high school girl knocked up.
There is one big fallacy when people say that the male should bear as much responsibility as the female in sexual matters. The girl can be left with a baby. The guy can leave the country and be left with a memory. I tried to teach my girls to stay clear of sex, BUT, to never take the word of a guy when it came to their own protection. When two fighters come out to the center of the ring, the referee tells them, "Come out fighting, and protect yourself at all times.
This happened about 10 miles from where I live. Haltom City is the next town east of Ft. Worth.
Wonder if she does any tutoring..Hmm
Computer science teacher, you say?
Perhaps her students misunderstood the meaning of 'hard drive' or were encouraged by learning that 'floppy disks' have become obsolete.
A subject once thought so geeky has finally come out and revealed its soft erotic underbelly. . .
Makes you wonder how "Hot for Teacher" could have ever been a hit record with all this boo-hooing about the kid being a "victim"
True, but it is also not pedophelia.
Interesting question, jem. On the surface, and through the eyes [and libido] of a 16-year-old boy, it almost looks like a win-win situation.
But, I see the following issues with that, ah, cherry-red, scenario:
So no, jem, we do not need to 'loosen up a bit on this "age of consent" thing.'. Adult teachers should be finding their romantic entanglements outside of the classroom, and high school students do not need to become sexually involved with those responsible for their education.
indepwman,
Wow, you so quickly proved yourself to be ignorant. Yes, women can make boys perform even if they do not want to. Your thinking is along the same lines as when lawyers would claim that it couldnt be rape if the woman had an orgasm. It is archaic and completely false. Please spread your disinformation somewhere else.
Way too many 'sick' comments on a teachers duty to children on this thread. Teachers are not in school to prey on their students....PERIOD....Gawd, why in the world do I even have to point this out???!!!!
No matter the age or even the sex of the victim...THIS IS NEVER OK! As a teacher you are taught that while a child is in your care you are "en loco parentis" which means in the place of a parent. You take the responsibility for this child AS A PARENT WOULD! Unless you are a sick loser, that means no sex!
So let me start by saying that I am totally in support of the "double standard" when it comes to this stuff. An adult male with an underage female is a no-go, while an adult female (provided she's hot) with an underage male I'm good with it.
What I'm not good with, though, is the double standard our legal system has when it comes to these situations.
This lady allegedly had sex with at least four male students and she is out on $10K bond. Yet there's another story on msnbc today about a softball coach having sex with his daughter's best friend and this spoor stiff is rotting in jail because his bail is set at $2 million. WTF?!
Most likely the students she screwed were the type that had girls on the side and probably didn't have any problems getting laid. It should not be a coincidence that the ones desperate for sex, don't get any.
still think all teacher should be armed
Mommy angry about her boy having sex with the teacher.
mommy jealous cause she gets no young stuff?
In another story, a former porn star who turned her life around and became a teacher, was fired from her job because "normal" people found out about her past, and feared that she'd be a bad role model for kids. In this story, a trusted teacher without such a past, does the very thing that teacher # 1 didn't do. Dopes.
Never mind.
You're on to something happy. But what I don't understand is why do these young men in these stories, narc out the teacher that was showing them some love. How would the police know everything imaginable if it didn't come from the student, and he was living with her. On her dime no doubt. If I had of been so lucky as to have had a relationship with a hot English teacher, not my family, not my friends nobody, would pry anything out of me.
When are these teachers going to learn that you "always" get caught!
No kidding. If they really want a young guy, just go to a club.
or my place...oh you said young....never mind....
Good morning
Trust me. They don't "always" get caught.
Hi Scooter and CD, GM to all
Yes, we are "legends in our own mind" - however, fantasies still perpetuate the psyche and are with us daily! LOL
Hi jack
To quote some anonymous author, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good for 45 seconds as I ever was."
nanavana - You are absolutely right. Look at the long post I wrote at 1.13. She got away with it for - who knows how long - perhaps a decade... But she played the game too long & was caught.
@ Denver...
Back in my days, I heard it as.... 'I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm good once as I ever was'...
And... 'What I lack in expericence I can make up for it with enthuseasm, and if I can't cut the mustard I can always lick the jar'..
GM Denver Bill!
Just never say that to me at Denver IAP!
Back East - that's a Good 'un - LOL
Creek Dog, when they remember boys not only can't keep it in their pants we won't keep our mouths shut about it, unless it's from our wife's.
Denver Bill, You brag! ;-} 35 seconds of foreplay???
In 73 when I left school. No one cared if a young man was screwing his teacher. I had a hot right out of collage English. Little tinny thing, always wore a skirt. I had it bad for her so one day I just reach up under that skirt and grabbed a hand full of ass. She slapped me so hard, then she made me stay after class and I ended up at her home that night to talk about what I had done. We didn't talk very long and she made up for that slap. It was well worth it. No one cared, it was the 70's. Well my girl friend got a little upset.
I wonder if this teacher howled like that gym instructor on Porky's???
Have you been talking to my wife?
No I've been talking to mine ;-} OOPS! Whats your wife been saying about me! Oh shouldn't of said that!!
George Carlin said it best --- some 16 year old boy who gets hustled by his 23 year old super hot English teacher, is NOT a victim. We had a name for them when I went to school --- we called them LUCKY BASTARDS!!
Creek, they just need to realize these young boys are to immature to keep their mouths shut. They can't hold it in.
I woulda loved it!
Evidently so did several others......
I don't see this as criminal behavior, firing behavior probably as it would interfere with the student's learning process. If it's a guy teacher, then it's a bit different as we don't want to see pregnant female students or molestation of boys. I can say that a couple of teachers in high school I remember had all the straight guys pretty worked up, but if anything did happen then, why it was kept very undercover. No cell phones or texting then, though, so lots of things just didn't come out.
societal double standards, got to love it. Americans are just so damn looney.
It isn't Americans only. You think ANY straight male 17 year-old isn't wanting to experience sex ed with his hot teachers?
Ms. Hickman was the fantasy of every hetero male in my HS. I remember her fondly, if not as intimately as I would like. And if she had ever offered it to me, I would have done it, and to this day thought of her as being an angel.
WHy straight? Wouldn't any gay 17 year old want to also have sex with a teacher? If not why not? Why if it's a man who has sex with a 16 year old boy or girl people want him killed and this woman gets the key to the city? What is the difference? Girls want sex in HS too, and if she comes onto a teacher how is it different? let's be realistic the only difference is our preconceived notions about woman and hangups about homosexuals.
Actually the apparent difference with sex with teachers is when I was in school there was no such thing as a hot teacher. Not that our hormones treated us differently, maybe the state recognized this and only hired the "little old ladies as school teachers."
Of course I could write about other reasons and differences on this subject but I'll let the next poster do that while I play a round of golf. He should be through by the time I get back.
When my kids were in school, witch was a while back, The male Head of the school hired hot young teachers so he could have sex with her. I have remarried and still have a 15 YO. girl, man you sure hear it when they have a young good lucking Sub. They way these young girls are today, you couldn't pay me enough to teach. These girls today are out of control. But we still see more women teacher being busted for having sex with there young men. There seems to one story a week like this.
Well I have to say that if I had to chose between my daughter having sex with her teacher, Or having a nut job with an AR 15 shooting her at School, I would take her having sex with her teacher anytime. Who really cares if some boy is screwing his teacher. We have enough problems to deal with.
That's America for you, Chuck: we glorify Death and Violence, but Sex we treat with neurotic ambivalence, half-sublimated impulses. It is the invisible elephant in the parlor. We simply cannot admit that we are all sexual creatures and that sex is a natural, healthy instinct. If we could, then perhaps we would free ourselves from these age- mismatched perversions, to say nothing of rape and prostitution.
To label a 14-18 year old adolescent male a child is hopelessly naive. And, I might add, unnatural. . .
Now you don't like FREE SEX? LOL!
I know this guy who is a high school teacher. He was banging this highschool student of his, then later married her, and they went on to have kids. Now she teaches too. I actually know another male teacher, same damn story. Married his student, she now teaches too.
Lots of guy teachers have banged their students for years....and never got this much publication. While teachers banging kiddos isn't right anyway you shake it, it also isn't quite right to assume that some women don't approach sex much like many of their counterparts. Anyway you can get it, they go for it, bar nothing.
Are we going to know start reading about ALL the women who are horn dogs, humping whatever and where ever they can get it? I realize this is morally and legally wrong, but let's move onto NEWS. There is nothing NEW about this.
My buddy taught at a school where one of the male teachers had relationships with students every year.
He told me a lot of the girls in the class would try to flirt with him all the time some blatantly by leaning over his desk with loose shirts so he could pretty much see everything. He didn't bite though as he was into women our age.
Things like this happens all the time, these fools just couldn't cover their tracks well enough.
here we go again...
That's what she said , and hence why it happened in the first place.....HE COULD.......
It's not as though the students didn't know what was going on. They are old enough to know. Many guys wish it were them that this happened to. Are the guys complaining? No harm, no foul.
I'll bet there are more that never told they did the same thing. I wouldn't have told.
Two male teachers in my high school were sleeping with students. They got moved around to other schools and never prosecuted. But then, it was a Catholic school.
ECF 2222
Sleeping ain't the story here - it was activities that went on while they were awake! LOL
Is this one of the teachers that the NRA wants to arm?
Think back on your own teachers. How many of them would you want packing heat?
So your point is if you have ever got horny you cant own firearms?
Think back on your teachers, did they cover the basic history of freedom and how it evolved?
Herron is just imagining a teacher putting a gun to his/her head, with the admonishment, "Do it right, or don't do it at all."
Damn where were these cougars a few years back? By most they are considered 15-20 years older, so now if i went cougar hunting she would have to be 75 plus.....Bummer.
i think that would be classified as a jackel
f-ing hilarious!
I would love to have banged my 11th grade English teacher. She was a hottie.
(I wasn't really interested in stupid, giggly high school girls at the time)
Indication of a moral breakdown in a society just like the corruption on Wall Street -anything goes . Corruption leads to decline and bankrupcy and that is what we are seeing. Our religious leaders just like our politicians stuffed their pockets with money and could care less.
just like....spin, spin, spin,
Wow. Corruption, societal decline, religious and political perfidy and thievery; all in a 3-sentence comment about a teacher boffing a student. I'm impressed with the range of your thoughts. Content ...... not so much.
..................................................................................................................................
Send Django down there to finish the job after he phucks them all first..I hate republican scum, especially texan sh!tbags.
....................................................................................................................................................
seek help, I hear tell they have good therapy for what ails you down Texas way.......
Spoken like a true Progressive...
Thomas the tank, I think we all have come to the conclusion that you are completely and totally unable to think for yourself, for all the right-wing nutjob propaganda you spew.
Thomas uses Rush Limbaugh as his brain Both of their brains are drug burnt out.
Why are these right wing morons keep thinking that every thing regardless what it is. it shows what fools they actually are. What did any political party have to do with this teacher having sex with a student only an idiot would bring politics into it.
Where were teachers like this when I was in high school?
Life just isn't fair...
what a perv..be gone you evil,evil person.
Ah, you're just jealous.
Close the public schools and move to online distance learning from home model. Property taxes could be dramatically reduced and this will instantly solve the school shootings, bully, sex with teacher problems.
The only "sex with teacher" problem I had was I didn't get any :(
Female student and male teacher = Kill the pedo!!!
Male student and female teacher = "Luckiest Boy Alive" award.
Interesting huh?
Are we starting to see more female sexual offenders? God forbid, if women start raping boys in the future... This is getting ridiculous and disturbing.
Yeah it's not possible. Can't rape the willing
Yeah Thomas you are really a genius aren't you for you know for a fact that Obama was the one that made this female teacher to have sex with a student.. Go and get your head examined if you have one You are one of the worst idiots on this site HATE HATE HATE is all that you do . You need your gun taken with all the hate you have
What are you talking about Thomas? This happened in Haltom City Texas! Do you know anything about this area? It's primarily republican! The town next door...I believe it's Richland hills has as it's school mascot "rebels". Figure it out: She is white and a teacher in Texas, so the odds are pretty good that she is republican! This is just a prime example of why republicans should never be allowed in a position of authority....especially Texas republicans. Everytime they are in a position of authority, they abuse it because they think they are exempt from being held accountable because they think they are better than everyone else and above being held accountable. I used to be a republican until I moved to Texas and saw first hand what they are really about.
None of this really surprises me since she is a teacher in a state that doesn't have any respect for education in the first place. Remember Gov. Perry? He cut billions out od school budgets but gave all his oil buddies tax breaks? Isn't this the governor that couldn't do much better than C's and D's in college? Maybe if Texas would spend a little more on education and stop giving windfall profit oil companies tax breaks, then maybe they would be able to afford to come up with better screaning before hiring and have more staff to be able to keep a better eye on their employees. Remember good old Rick Perry running for president? Remember how he bragged about his state being able to make tough financial decisions? Giving oil buddies a tax break and cutting billions to education funding? That sure shows alot of respect for the future generation. No wonder people like this don't have enough self respect to avoid doing things like this....She more than likely grew up in a republican Texan home! Here is something to think about Thomas: Obama care.......If republican America doesn't like it, then maybe they should have started regulating greedy insurance companies that make windfall profits! If they can't regulate themselves, then they will leave the door open for someone else to come in and regulate them! If you don't like Obama, then stop doing things that leave the door open for him! Remember all the bad decisions Obama made that caused the economy to fall back in 2007?.....Wait.....He didn't get elected until????? 2008???
had it been a MAN instead of a WOMAN imagine what may be the scenario now ???
Yeah, they hate homosexual pedophiles even more.
The teachers I had in school had taught my parents and grandparents.
Probably not fantasy material I would think.
Talk about education stimulus package..
Funny!
Playing devils advocate here but why is it so great when a female teacher has sex with a 15 year old boy but if a male has sex with a 15 year old boy people call for him to be killed? Isn't it the same crime and the same thing just with a gay boy? The same reasoning for applauding this woman can be attributed to the man. Since men and women are the same why is it any different for a man to sleep with a 15 year old high school girl? Aren't her hormones raging too just like the boys?
Personally i think they're all scumbags this woman included, but I want to hear peoples reasoning's other than "boys want it" if that's the case "gay boys want it too", and "girls are sexed up and want it too" at least they did when I was in school...
Why do you want to have sex with a 15y/o boy anyway? If you are sniffing playground equipment or stalking middle schoolers you are a pervert.
The kid is question appears to be a high school senior in the story, he could have been 17 or 18 years old.
The norm in this world is heterosexual, the preference is that relationships be formed with legal adults outside of a place where one person can be coerced by the other, like a school.
I understand that certain non-heterosexuals want access to children as young as six in order to "break them in", if that is your preference you are by definition,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a pervert.
What she did was wrong. She should have found an 18y/o horny drop-out and got it done.
What you want is disgusting.
paidmyfee,
MikeD is not advocating for sex with children, but you proved his point in your response that many on here people aren't as disgusted by this if they would have liked it as a minor (however they should as adults understand that adults should stay away from underage anyone) but when someone has something against same sex relationships, as you seem to, they would be disgusted by the same acts. Gay people are not attracted to children, just as hetero people aren't (or shouldn't be) but some people, such as you, like to perpetuate this myth. What you're discribing is pedophilia. There is also a huge double standard here that many men seem to arguing is completely acceptable.
Sounds a bit like you might be a gay, pedophile... Careful, there, Mike. On the other hand, if I was 17 and banging my 24 year old teacher, is there much difference than if I was 17 banging your 14 year old daughter? Other than the law, written by some old fuddys years ago... But if I was 18 banging your same daughter now 15, it's a crime? The law should read, having sex against one's will is rape. Oh, but then it already does... However, when consensual sex is happening with kids as young as 11 and 12 because of poor parenting, do these laws make much sense? Not my opinion, just a comment.
" Since men and women are the same"
This is the problem with your argument.
@Jed- "gay people" have an organization advocating for access to children for sexual reasons, NAMBLA. Obama has a "czar" in his White house who dedicated a book to the creator of that organization. The "safe schools czar" of all things, Kevin Jennings.
It would be easier to accept the theory it is a "myth" if there was not so much TRUTH to it.
this idiot has (had) a teaching job, yet i apply for dozens and dozens of jobs just to get an interview, and then still dont get the job. seriously, wtf is wrong with this country?
The job went to someones brother, sister, cousin, or good friend that's why, then they get handed a rubber stamped tenure which basically means job for life no matter how incompetent. Tenure was meant for University Professors holding a Doctorate not elementary school teachers. I have four teachers in my family and the whole industry rife with cronyism. Without a family member "in" you have almost no chance of getting hired. It's why our schools are terrible.
Don't ask what is wrong with this country, ask what is wrong with you.
