I hope that this inspires everyone reading it to contact the police chief of Mt. Pleasant Utah, as well as the school board and the community paper.


The gist of it is that some high school champion wrestlers took a younger, smaller boy, pinned him against a locker and shaved his groin. The idiot principal suspended the boys for 2 days and I think they can't wrestle in a tournament.

I saw red when I read this. I worked for years in Seattle schools, before the reforms of General Stanford, and this is the sort of response to crimes that they had...basically nothing. You could get worse suspensions for spitting.

I doubt the principal called the police. I'll have to reread this. A school should not be a sanctuary for crimes. I have worked in those that were. I am currently fighting a situation on city buses where high school students are so pornographic in their discussions that it constitutes sexual harassment and child abuse for younger children.

I urge everyone to check this out further and act in some way. The social costs of bullying, especially combined with sexual harassement, which if this isn't I don't know what is, are enormous. The desire of school officials to not deal with this is overwhelming, or was when I worked in schools.
