So Utah authorities (& this Utah high school) only find educators dating 16-17 yo girls and using "similar pick-up lines" and taking "them to some of the same locations" as "questionable" -- like it only raises ? marks in their minds?
Oh, it gets "better": From the article: The teacher, however, was savvy to make sure his behavior didn't cross any lines until the girls were 18 and of legal age, he said.
Say what? Has somebody neglected to tell Utah law enforcement officials or Utah journalists that it doesn't matter if a high school senior turns 18 in regard to the law? The fact is that the educator is still in a position of authority over that student and therefore laws are specifically crafted to include this reality at least at the high school level.
Why does this have "Let's protect this educator" all over this article other than (a) we don't see his name given; (b) they create new "boundaries" (age 18 vs. educator-student relationship); (c) they make it sound like educators dating high school students is only a "professional" breech of conduct.
Finally, again from the article: Some [of these female students] reported being ridiculed by classmates during high school because of their relationship with the teacher, Conley said. "They didn't have a normal school experience because of the relationship. They'd be taunted and teased by others," Conley said.
OK, if the "stories" were this "out" of the campus closet, where were the campus administrators in following up on these rumors? Is that just longstanding "Utah normal" re: teen-adult relationships?
He was in authority over them too.
How is this not illegal?
