MSNBC ^ | March 1, 2012

Modesto police are investigating if there's a criminal case against a former high school teacher who resigned his job to move into an apartment with an 18-year old girl he met while teaching.

James Hooker, 41, was placed on administrative leave Feb. 3 by Modesto City Schools and resigned less than three weeks later, according to a report at the Modesto Bee.

I don’t approve of it anymore than anyone else, but if the girl is 18 and of legal age, and the guy is 41, it is questionable if any crime has been committed

The news story says she is now a senior, but he has known her since she was a freshman.

I guarantee he got at her *before* she was 18.

Y’all are welcome to personally condemn him for leaving his wife and kids.

But it’s not the government’s role to keep adults from shacking up.

And there is nothing perverted about a man being attracted to a sexually mature young woman.

“I mean it’s California after all.”

There are many good conservatives from CA. One of them runs this website. Another became President. His library is here.

Another is me. Without trying to speak for all the others, STFU about CA when making general statements about this kind of degeneracy. You’ve had some degenerates in your neck of the woods, too, wherever it is. I’ll guarantee it.

Do you suppose, just maybe, that this gentleman’s flame for the adult woman was kindled before she attained the age of majority? Is it OK for middle aged teachers to be dorking young girls as long as they later live together?

Sorry if you can’t face reality, mate.

Cali is a lost cause.

The swarm of illegals that came in post-Reagan killed it.

Look at your state-wide elected officials.

If you want to have any positive influence in the USA you’re going to have to move on.

I've been teaching high school in Hawaii for 20 years.
About 10 years ago, I learned that the age of consent in
Hawaii was 14. I worked with many others to get this
bumped to 16, still too young but better than 14.

So imagine the same scenario as above, but with immature 30-40 yr old penisperps running off junior high playgrounds with girls in pig tails. Society simply stopped protecting children along about 1970.

My wife’s brother did the same thing. He invited us to his wedding. I told him I would not be part of his stupidity.

NOW they are. I”m sure NOTHING happened until the second she turned 18, right?

If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in. I’ll even let it go for pennies on the dollar.

“Sorry if you can’t face reality, mate.”

Face it every day, “mate.”

We got two kinds of Californians.

We got the ones who live here and might die here trying to make it what it was.

Then we got your chickenshit, walk away from a fight types. I ain’t the second type. And my life would really suck if I knew I was. Oh. And Breitbart was from here, too.

It is the governments role to keep teachers from having sex with their students, not matter their age. The man is a dirty old man. Any 41 year old male that thinks it’s okay to have sex with an 18 year is disgusting.

Post of the day! ;)

Seriously, what kind of family would accept a son-in-law like that? Maybe when she gets some miles on her (and a few kids), he’ll trade her in for a new model too.

And for the reading challenged in this forum—if you believe that she was of legal age when they hooked up, I want some of what you’re smoking.

Just because they’re consenting adults doesn’t make it any more morally acceptable.

For the record, I was a lot better looking than that at 18, and I wasn’t boinking any of my teachers either ;) I waited a few years and got me a good looking military man.

“If the student was male, the left-wingers would be calling him a “hero” and he’d probably get a promotion in his school.”

If the student were a guy and the teacher a woman, some people on this very site would be saying the same thing.

Quite a future ahead of them...

I’m happily married to a wonderful woman 21 years younger than me.

Good for you. Were you in a position of authority over her? Did you leave a family behind,including innocent children,to satisfy your own needs?

If no,good for you. Glad you and your wife are happy together,and I wish you well in your marriage.
