nice dodge. i asked you what you think. don’t want to share? Many states, in addition to CT, make it illegal for students to get involved with teachers.

Again, afraid to tell us what you think?

Apples and oranges. With teachers you have the potential for a power imbalance but also for the student to use sex to get preferential treatment. I’m not sure it needs to be illegal if the ages of consent are within range but it’s still unethical and should carry a penalty.

If everyone is an adult the situation is a bit different but certainly carries clear ethics and moral risks.

so you’re saying that imbalance cannot exist in a professional relationship between adults. no matter how far apart the difference in position?

With Presidents you have the potential for a power imbalance but also for the intern to use sex to get preferential treatment. I’m not sure it needs to be illegal if the ages of consent are within range but it’s still unethical and should carry a penalty.

they beat that horse, even though it’s bullish•t, because it sounds better than admittimg th e truth, that he was impeached for lying under oath.
