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.

(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.
