It's not too conservative, it's too tyrannical! Is what she did immoral? Yes, only because she crossed the line in the student teacher relationship, but to give her 20 years per student is just ridiculous and outrageously over punishing!

Rapist and murderers don't even get this kind of jail time. At the max she should be stripped of her teachers licenses, with no jail time!

Texas you REALLY suck on this one!

[MrEdd]

The problem is not the appropriate sentence she got.
Its the inappropriate sentence rapists and murderers get.

One more thing.

You stay away from other peoples kids, since we have you on record as thinking its not that bad to f*** them even if they are in your professional care.

I am not joking.

You ARE (as opposed to merely having) a problem.

It doesn't say they gave her 20 years per student. It says they *could* give her 2 - 20 years per count. They *could* give her a suspended sentence and probation. The article doesn't say what the sentence actually was.

If you think the *only* thing immoral about this was the breach of the student-teacher relationship, then Mike Adams has proved his point about the rapid devolution of norms down to the level of "I wanna."

...to give her 20 years per student is just ridiculous and outrageously over punishing!

Where did you read that she was convicted to 20 years per student? She got 5 years in prison, total.

Which is the point. ALL teaches in Texas have a stipulation in their contract concerning a very old-fashioned concept called 'moral turpitude'.

Are you saying someone shouldn't be held to the terms of their contract? That's not very conservative of you.

It says TWO to 20, not automatically 20. It's very doubtful she will get that much time.

Personally, I hope she gets at least 8 to 10. A teacher having sexual relations with any student is a violation of the delegated trust of the People of Texas.

Your screen name implies you search for truth.

The question is, can you handle it?

She got five years, probably won’t serve one. She should have received the max

Re: Texas you REALLY suck on this one!

As opposed to... us Texans' normal suck?

Well, then... what about these New Hampshire Laws:

You may not tap your feet, nod your head, or in any way keep time to the music in a tavern, restaurant, or cafe.

You cannot sell the clothes you are wearing to pay off a gambling debt.

It is considered an offense to check into a hotel under an assumed name.

It is illegal to pick seaweed up off of the beach.

Any cattle that crosses state roads must be fitted with a device to gather its feces.

You may not run machinery on Sundays.

In cemeteries it is illegal to: get drunk, picnic, enter at night, and enter by one’s self if that person is younger than 10.

If a person is caught raking the beaches, picking up litter, hauling away trash, building a bench for the park, or many other kind things without a permit, he/she may be fined $150 for ”maintaining the national forest without a permit”.

On Sundays citizens may not relieve themselves while looking up.

Well, sirchtruth, it is not Sunday, but go ahead and fine me as I am looking up at you... while relieving myself all over your shoes--

ANY teacher who violates the teacher/student relationship should get jail time. Period. Think that is tyranny? Stay right where you are. Texas doesn't need 'open minded' thinking about teachers and sex with our students.
