Missouri educators protest new regulation, calling it too stringent
KANSAS CITY — As the school year resumes next week, Missouri teachers will have to think twice about making private contact with students on Internet sites such as Facebook.
The state's school districts are under orders to draft policies to comply with a new law restricting such communications in an effort to prevent inappropriate relationships between teachers and students.
But the law is drawing criticism from some educators who say it goes too far.
"It kind of assumes all teachers are guilty, and that is not the message we need," said Christopher Wright, a third-grade teacher in Rolla, Mo. and president of the local chapter of the Missouri State Teachers Association.

Ire from whom? You would think teachers would want to avoid this contact to protect themselves and as a parent I would not want a teacher child relationship happening online. So what pedophile is behind the Ire?
