re: I have a question regarding the seeming epidemic of Female Teacher/Student sex

a big reason why it isn't taken as seriously when it's female teachers and male students as the reverse is most people assume the male student wanted it anyway, so what's the big deal anyway, while the female student was obviously coerced into doing it. THat's the assumption.

I'm on a school board and several years ago we had an incident where a teacher was sleeping with not one but two seniors . Both 17 and thus technically legal in Arkansas except that she was a teacher. Other members of my school board did not want to fire this female teacher and the exact reason given was "you know them boys wanted it" I point blank asked "what if your 17 year old daugther wanted the football coach to dick her down, would that be okay?" Deer in the headlights look.
