Save Your High School ID

Most people save their college ID, and get discount movie tickets even after their face no longer has the fresh optimistic look that shines from their college ID picture. After reading this, I am going to dig around and find my high school ID.

In Texas, there is a law against educators sleeping with their students, even if the kid is of legal age. Ms. Amy McElhenney, a Spanish teacher and former 2002 Miss Texas contestant, is facing charges under this law that could land her in jail for 20 fucking years. Now, obviously Texas has a special problem with the horny teachers since three teachers from one school district were caught breaking this law in one year. And I agree with the spirit of the law which is basically preventing sexual extortion or rape. Besides, no one wants creepy old teachers hitting on their fresh face daughters with abandon. That also goes for gross looking old hags freaking the hell out of your innocent young son.

But if I am sitting in my senior spanish class asleep with my head on my desk (as I typically did), and a hot 25 year old blonde beauty queen who is only a couple years out of UT wakes me up and asks me to stay after class for some "tutoring," I am not saying no. Especially if I am 18. And if there is no evidence of coersion, or extortion, or whatnot - she shouldn't go to jail for it. Sure, she should be able to find someone her own age, but the kid was above the age of consent (17 in Texas), and if she was a saleswoman instead of a teacher - there wouldn't even be a story. Her reputation is deservedly ruined, but that is all the punishment she needs. But if Texas insists she needs more, I will give her a nice spankin'.
