I don’t care if she wore makeup. I don’t care if she dressed provocatively. She was a 14-year-old and he was in a position of power.” Provocatively?
It takes a bit of shopping around to keep your teenager looking demure. The clothes just aren't on the rack. Even the 'child stars' on TV are often dressed like tramps.
Bottom line is that the teacher is an adult, and should be old (mature) enough to refrain from abusing his position. Just say "no" and all that...
Heck, just look at the Miley Cyrus MTV performance and it's abundantly clear the line of appropriate decorum has not been blurred, it's been erased. She comes out of a teddy bear, dressed to look like a tween in a fuzzy leotard, strips to a latex bra and pantry and proceeds to grind like a porn star on a man dressed like a referee (authority figure).
Is it any wonder these adult/child encounters are becoming more commonplace? It's by design!
