Texas ranks No. 1 in inappropriate student-teacher relationships

[TexasTowelie]

SPRING -- Another case of a student and teacher having an inappropriate relationship has been reported in the Houston area.

Kathanna Culp, 28, is accused of having sex with a student in the Spring Branch ISD and of hosting pot parties for teens.

Terry Abbott, who was chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education under President George W. Bush, calls these types of relationships an epidemic, and says school districts need to do more to stop it.

Abbott decided to start keeping track of the media accounts of these types of cases, and what he found since January 1 is more than 200 cases nationwide. That's nearly two every week.

1. I did a little searching on the Culp case.

She's 28, he was 18 when the relationship took place. Texas age of consent is 17. Okay, it may not have been the most appropriate thing but it may not be a crime. They could throw marijuana distribution at her though. Yeeehaaw!
