The thing that bothers me about these the most is that parents have the right to expect teachers to protect their kids, not engage in this sort of behavior with them. I was a teacher and I felt that I was to be a role model. Not their friend, not their sexual partner, etc. This is clearly a person in a position of authority abusing that authority, regardless of the sex of either party. It’s why a boss should not solicit sex from an employee (altho it happens).

Yup. Teenage boys can be incredibly dangerous, stupid, out-of-control, sexual, etc. Same boy is also vulnerable and childish and needs adults to give them so guidance and safe places in their lives. Like a home. A school. A church etc.
Well, we now have stupid people at the highest levels of power. What are we to expect...
