Marcel's father said school administrators stated they had never seen such a severe, long-lasting "tea-bagging" as in Marcel's case.

Marcel is stunned. He said when he was at Buddy Taylor there was a "national butt-slapping day" and a day to "pop girls' bra straps," which were relayed via cell phones. So the suspension for tea-bagging knocked the wind out of the running back like a well-placed hit from a linebacker.

"[pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time!" < /Constanza >

Marcel's father said he feels his son's future, academically and athletically, is being jeopardized due to an overreaction.

I agree. The father should knock it off, take the lumps, and quit trying to make a huge deal out of this in the papers.

Darial Williams wonders if district officials had seen other cases of "tea-bagging," why didn't they address the problem earlier, making it clear to students and parents that such behavior was happening and unacceptable?

Awesome parenting there, dad.

This is why it’ s such an insult to the TEA Party.

This kid rubbed his crotch in someone’s FACE and can’t see what he did WRONG? And the parents, too.

Sue Chrissy Mathews. He started it. It’s his fault.

“a student, still wearing clothes, rubbing his crotch in another’s face, Townsend said. “

That sounds like freaking sexual assault to me!

[November 2010]

Tea Bagging is laying your testicles on a face, like tea bags sort of lay against a cup. What this “boy” did to another boy was despicable, humiliating, bullying, and is ASSAULT. Charge the punk.

[ßuddaßudd]

Hey Marcel, stay away from doing the roman helmet too !

[a fool in paradise]

“the kid liked it”, then why did it rise up to the level of the parents being informed?

“we was just playin’”

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Methinks Marcel should be happy he still has all his bits and pieces. Try that on me or mine and those little boys will be hanging from a wall with the squirrel tails.

Anderson Cooper.

Anderson Cooper's fault.

[greeneyes]

What kind of idiot does not know that such behavior is not acceptable anywhere?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Wow, check out the fine socialization your homeschooled children are missing!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Great minds.

Glad the father pressed charges, I would have too. Then again my son is a brown-black belt and would have annihilated the crude S.o.B. in milliseconds.

I'm sure if the kid was “gay”, it would have been okay.

We must be SENSITIVE to their perversion but if a straight kids mocks it, it almost becomes a school felony. Heck, don't they TEACH this is sex ed? I'd be surprised if they don't. Liberals are always preoccupied with the mechanics of anything sexual or perverted.

This is why it’ s such an insult to the TEA Party.

The lavender mafia on the Left smear tea party patriots with this pejorative and then had the audacity to call them "homophobes".
