Surprised the D-G didn’t make way in the LR edition for this story from Bentonville.

The former high school teacher (pictured) charged with having sex with a student on his 18th birthday — and also supplying a minor with alcohol — intends to challenge the constitutionality of the Arkansas law that makes it a crime for a teacher to have sex with a student younger than 21.  It was not otherwise illegal for the 32-year-old math teacher to bed an 18-year-old. She was arrested after blabbing, via text message, to a fellow teacher.
