    I signed a law to put an end to disgusting inappropriate teacher-student assaults like this. #txlegehttp://www.sacurrent.com/the-daily/archives/2017/06/16/middle-school-mentor-arrested-for-sex-sleepovers-with-14-year-old-student …

        Why weren't you enforcing laws already on the books? I learned a long time ago that 15 could get me 20! Not something I wanted to do!

        So it wasn't illegal before? Pretty sure the age of consent in Texas is 17 and has been for some time. Does this just enhance the penalty?

        It is already illegal for teachers to have inappropriate relationships with their students.

        Not seeing how this law would do that. It punishes administrators who don't report. So what?

        There wasn't already a law prohibiting this?

        First you called it "relationships". Now you call it "assaults". It's rape.

        There is a law against stealing and murder too but people still do it. Just signing a law does not address the problem sir.

        But a law sets parameters on what can or cannot be used as a defense!

        You are missing the point. A law deals with the issue AFTER its already done. Point being, do something that STOPS it b4!

        The point being is you can't stop this from happening before it happens. Murders happen and we all would love for people to not kill people

        Don't know how, but I'm sure, judging by your other priorities, that you are personally benefiting from this law.
