Second School Offense

For the second time in a year a school in Malvern, AR has had a teacher charged with having sex with a student. The first case involves subsitute teacher Marsha J. Henderson, 35, of Malvern who is charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy.

This time out, the teacher involved is Heather E. Carter, 30, of Alexander. Carter has been charged with having sex with a 17-year old female student in her home and automobile.

Again, I ask you the reader, "What is the deal with teachers in the South?" No problem in the South? Then what is this story that is being developed now, with another teacher, in Texas? Although that student was of consenting age. However under a 2003 Texas law, no teacher can have sexual relations with any student, no matter the age.
