Jordan Powers's relationship with her 41-year-old former high school teacher, James Hooker, made national headlines when the two moved into an apartment together in Modesto, California.  Powers dropped out of James Enochs High School in Modesto and moved into an apartment with Hooker in February, who left his job, wife and three children, one of whom attended James Enochs High School with Powers. 

Hooker was arrested and charged Friday with sexually abusing a different former student.  Powers then announced she broke off the relationship with her former teacher.  Although Hooker and Powers denied a physical or inappropriate relationship prior to the time Powers turned 18, police are still investigating whether or not abuse was involved while Powers was still a minor. 

During an interview today with NBC, Powers said she had "lost everything for this guy."  "I lost my senior year and I gave up all my friends at high school because they didn't agree with me," she said. 

Tammy Powers, Jordan Powers's mother, filed a complaint with police when her daughter moved into an apartment with Hooker.  Since Hooker's arrest, she helped her daughter move out of the apartment she shared with her former teacher.  "She is safe and I'm glad of that, and I'm elated that he's in custody," said Tammy Powers. 

Hooker was released from Stanislaus County Jail after posting $50,000 bail, reported the HuffingtonPost.com.


This is becoming so frequent, it is horrifying.  If you look at the many, many reports of teacher and school faculty's abuse against students in the Abomination category of this blog-news page, which are only the "tip of the iceberg," you will be able to grasp the magnitude of these abuses and the condition of the school systems.  The Bible tells us, "Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  Men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those who are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" 2 Timothy 3:1-4.  I have frequently asked myself, as I read these reports, why in the world would seemingly intelligent, well-educated men and women give up everything to have a brief, illegal and abominable sexual encounter with children?  The Bible has the answer to that question too, "Because when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.  Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not appropriate" Romans 1:21-22,28.

If you are a teacher in a public, or otherwise Godless school system, and it is part of your job to teach children we evolved from monkeys, or to teach them inappropriate sex education at way too young an age, or introduce homosexuality as a good and acceptable lifestyle, you have a duty to get yourself out of that position and repent.  If you don't, and you continue on, according to the Word of God, you are going to end up reprobate.  Nothing is worth losing your eternal soul over.  If you find yourself in that position, please pray, repent, and ask God for a new job, where you are not required to participate in this sin, before it's too late. 

Parents, if your children are in the environment described above, please visit the Home Education page of this website.  God bless you.
