IWA for Sunday, March 18, 2007

Hey folks,

It’ Sunday, time for the IWA. I have a question. Do not miss understand me. This is ALWAYS wrong. I’m glad she got what she did. My problem is why her? Why not all? Well, you probably, like I, already know the answer. She is not pretty enough.

This could also fall into the "here we go again" files.

A sixth-grade science teacher who was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Rachel L. Holt, 35, had pleaded guilty to second-degree rape. She sobbed in court Friday as Superior Court Judge Calvin L. Scott gave her the mandatory minimum sentence.

Prosecutors had wanted Scott to sentence Holt to the maximum of 25 years.
Holt was initially charged with 28 counts of first-degree rape.

Police accused her of having sex with the boy that many times during an intense weeklong affair. She was also accused of plying the boy with alcohol and allowing him to drive her car.

28 times in a week? That had to be a young,, never mind. Like I said she deserves the sentence. ANY teachers taking advantage of their students deserve a mandatory sentence. ALL of them do. Her attorney even questioned the vast difference between the sentencing in this growing trend.

Holt's attorney, John S. Malik, said the sentence was much longer than what teachers convicted in similar cases got. He reviewed 40 such cases and found the average was 18 months to two years.

That’s because she does not look like this.

In my opinion, and you know I’m not afraid to make it known, there should be a minimum sentence to any teacher that gets caught, and is proven guilty of having sex with their students. Ten years sounds about right.

Congratulations Rachel, for adding sex to the curriculum, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. Now you have ten years to think about it. Hey, maybe you can get a job as a teacher in prison. I bet your students there will be more than happy to "study" sex with you.
