Judge Gone Rogue or Agent of Change?

2002-05-25 01:17:20+02 by Shawn 0 comments

The New York Post reports that a New Jersey judge has ruled "no harm, no foul" (my words) in the case of a female teacher who had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student.

So many angles to discuss, but the two most prominent that come immediately to mind are the title question and, "Would the ruling have been the same if - all else being equal - the genders had been reversed?"
