Why can't I slippery slope it? If you're going to give people the side eye, I'm interested to know where the cut off is.

I don't have to come on. It's a question. You can answer it simply with the first sentence, or add all the extra stuff at the end. The first one would have done it fine though. So apparently you'd be happy with them being your hypothetical child's teacher then?

Maybe to you it is. I'm free to ask the question, you're free to get defensive. It's a message board.

If you're going to deny them a relationship and side eye anyone who does, it doesn't seem to me that you are prepared to have them live a normal life.

Yes, there is an element of choice. I wanted to see what principles underlined those choices, and how they might affect other interactions with these people. You and legsdiamond got defensive. Fair enough.
