Georgia Teacher Keenon Aampay Hall, 29, Resigns Amid Allegations of Sex with Male Student

High school teacher Keenon Aampay Hall quits amid allegations of sex with a male student.

It is a disgrace that Shiloh High School's Teacher of the Year, Keenon Aampay Hall, engaged in a sexual relationship with a student. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, she resigned her position at the Gwinnett county school amid allegations that she seduced a senior who came to her for homework help. The AJC states that an investigative file on the case compiled by the school system’s human resources division contains the student’s accounts of sexual trysts at a hotel, a friend’s home and in the teacher’s classroom during school hours.

The report also says that pornography was found on Hall’s Gwinnett County schools laptop. Let's put this in the proper perspective. There are many single adult males in Atlanta and the United States at large, for this teacher to set her sights on a student. When I think of a night of passion, a student certainly doesn't come to mind. So, the student rebuffs her after her alleged pressuring of him to reproduce with her, she allegedly lowered his grade? Wasn't that like striking a match over a gasoline spill? How little regard did she have for this young man if she wanted to push him into fatherhood at such a young age?

The student, a player on Shiloh’s football team who is to graduate Friday, claimed that Hall gave him gifts and pressured him to commit to their six-month relationship by giving her a baby, according to the file. When he declined, the student’s family said, Hall gave him a failing grade, prompting him to report the relationship to school officials.

Gwinnett County Public Schools police are investigating the incident. The governor recently signed a new law making it illegal for teachers to have sex with students, even if the sex is consensual. In addition, the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, which has the authority to revoke Hall’s teaching certificate, is scheduled to review the complaint next week. Source: AJC

Yes, the police ought to investigate the fact that she broke the law and for having pornography on a laptop belonging to the school. This woman could have made a real difference in the lives of her students, but she threw it all way for a sexual relationship with a student. Had that been a male teacher having a relationship with a female student, it's safe to say the outcry would be far louder. Keenon Aampay Hall is a sexual predator, who should be treated as such.
