How about an across-the-board rule/law/requirement: if you're a teacher, do not have sex with students. Not if you're a man; not if you're a woman; not if they're 13; not if they're 17. What the f**k is wrong with this world? Also, how was this so consensual if the sex came to the authorities' attention when the boy reported that he was raped? (Boston Herald)

I guess she doesn't care, though. She's too busy trying not to kill people with her car and sneaking cigs in the rose garden to worry about working. (AP)
