Yes kicking them out is the best way to address this matter with teenage boys, who were silly enough to use newly acquired excels skills to record a ‘Lockeroom’ type conversation that many teens have.
After all, its not like they have grown up in era where the most popular TV shows by miles are reality show sbased on rating everyone - who’s the best dancer, who’s the best singer, who’s the most eligible bachelor .
If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.
This happens. My wife completed her MBA last year. Several male students were expelled as a spread sheet went around rating breasts of the female MBA students. 1 female student left the course because of sexual harassment. Several female students filed harassment complaints with the school. The youngest person in this MBA was 26, most were 30+ adults. If not shown early that this is unacceptable then these boys will become men and their actions will be amplified and become more horrific.
Another dumb thing that teenagers did, which was wrong and was corrected by school authorities for a change.
Teaching kids to respect women? US conservatives are going to complain that you can't say anything these days and that the communist Marxist socialist liberal froo-froo touchy-feely teachers are brainwashing grammar school now; not just at the college level.
Expelling grammar schoolboys for this?! Very helpful I'm sure. Those boys have certainly learned to be model citizens.
People like you are the reason our schools look like the worst parts of The Wall. Every child must conform, march in lockstep, or face the consequences. Authoritarian liberals are a close second to authoritarian conservatives.
In my day this would have been a trip to the dean for a solid dressing down and a week in detention. Done and done. And Jesus, the social woes from such an event were unthinkable.
!BigMikeInAustin: "Fuck them! Deprive them of education and social skills! Give them nothing, and take from them everything!"
(In case you didn't catch on, expelling them taught them nothing except to lie down and keep certain views on the down low. I'll make it even simpler, you want to teach them to lie to avoid harsh consequences.)
That's a lot of words to say you can't read. Ha ha.
This article says only suspended. You provide no evidence for more.
Also, the kids rated girls as "unrapable."
The kids are thinking it is ok to rape girls.
How much rape is acceptable to you to not suspend a kid?
I'm saddened you think raping girls is natural instead of teaching kids that it is not ok.
Is this the ranked, competitive sex I hear about, to contrast with the sex for casuals?
