Subject: RE: BS: OTCall to action: bullying in a school
I noted the way the paper appeared to be trying to trivialise this criminal assault by calling it "hazing". Except they didn't even put it in inverted commas.
Now would it have been treated in that kind of way if it had been a girl who was assaulted? I'd hope it would have been more likely to have been recognised as a kind of rape, which is what it reads as being in this case.
