This is bull****.....
It's already illegal to "date" minors, now we want to give teachers crap pay AND make it illegal for them to engage in a sexual relationship with other consenting adults just because they have NOT dropped out of high school or they chose to attend college and further their education?!?!?!?! For a teacher at NSU in Natchitoches, this proposal would eliminate probably 1/3 of our city population from the dating pool, and that's not taking into consideration the number of residents who are married, in a relationship, or otherwise unavailable. And let me tell you, if you've never lived here, then you don't know what it's like to live in a city with about 15-16,000 people and have an influx of about 9000 freshmen, over half of which are totally legal females on their own for the first time and ready to party!AND it happens EVERY fall...anyone still unclear about why I'm REALLY still single? |

I agree it is a bad law. I prefer actual numbers over actual guessing.

Is it just me or is the government slowly trying to make sexual intercourse illegal? The line between who you can have sex with and who you can't is becoming fuzzier all the time.
We just need to set a minimum age of consent and prosecute anyone dumb enough to have sex with someone under that age. Whether or not that person is in school is irrelevant. As far as teachers having sex with their own students, that can be a complicated matter. If the student is in that teacher's class, then they should not be in a relationship together. It compromises the teacher's ability to make unbiased decisions regarding the student's grade. If the student is NOT in the teacher's class, then relationships should be permitted assuming the student is over the age of consent.

Well there you go, 68% of 8,000+ in a city population of 17,000+ is still about 1/4th of the total adult city population. Keep in mind, we don't just have undergraduate studies either, we have Graduate Studies and the Scholars College too, so that number would be inflated by several hundred students, and let's not forget that 17 is the age of consent in Louisiana, this also encompasses most high school seniors and a significant portion of juniors regardless of how anyone feels about that, which brings the Louisiana School for gifted children, into the mix, which brings in students from abroad as well as the 2 local high schools within the city limits. To large of a portion of society to make it a crime to "socialize" with.... |
