Reid About It

News from Dallas, at one of the high schools a teacher has been arrested for having sex with a student.

Here's my favorite part.

Byron Eugene Coyle, 26, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of having an improper relationship with a 17-year-old female student. A state law passed in 2003 criminalizes sexual relationships between teachers and students even if the student has reached the state's consensual age of 17 and agrees to the relationship.

What the Hell kind of state do I live in where we had to make another, separate rule just to make sure it was never okay for teachers to sleep with students?

Administrator: "Part of your job as a teacher, the trusted guardian of our children and protectors of the future, is that you can't have sex with your students."
Teacher: "Our students?"
A: "Any students."
T: "Gotcha. But we can have sex with them if they're seventeen or over, right? That's legal consent age, so that's cool."
A: "No."
T: "What if, she's like, really hot and she looks way older than that. Like, old enough to go get beer without getting carded?"
A: "No."
T: "Damn. Good thing I get the summers off, or this job would really suck."
A: "Thanks, coach."

This is the part of the high school experience they never seem to get right in the movies.
