MILTON -- A Milton Academy official said yesterday the school's decision to expel five male students for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old sophomore girl was ''excruciating" but necessary to send a strong message to students, as students and parents expressed mixed reactions to the discipline.
Three sophomores and two juniors, all members of the boys hockey team, were expelled from the picturesque private campus Friday, after a three-day school investigation found that they requested and received oral sex from a classmate in a school locker room last month, an academy spokeswoman said.
...Two uninvolved students who spoke on the condition of anonymity yesterday said the sex acts were reportedly performed by the girl as a birthday present for one of the boys, an assertion the spokeswoman said she had heard but could not confirm.
...........On the sprawling campus of neat brick buildings and well-tended athletic fields, where former president Bill Clinton delivered the commencement address two years ago as a favor to a friend whose son was graduating, some students tossed a football on the grassy quadrangle yesterday. Many declined to comment, saying teachers had told them not to speak with reporters.
.......Milton Academy, the 200-year-old alma mater of poet T.S. Eliot and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, had escaped similar attention until last week. The school, which has a 5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, costs $25,700 a year for day students and $32,700 for boarders, according to its website, and has grown more diverse in recent years. The 680 high school students come from 23 states; half of them are women and nearly one-third are minorities.
One former student sued the school last year, saying he was humiliated by a Latino dorm adviser who chastised him for his ''white" way of thinking.....

The Clinton Legacy. (Gee, thanks Bill)
BWAHAAA!!!
Actually, being Mass, I'm surprised that the boys were not giving oral to each other.
and why are there girls there??
P.S. and O/T... my "sources" tell me things are going to heat up in Venezuela. Soon.
Expulsion may be only the beginning of these boys' problems.
....Under state law, anyone who has sexual intercourse or ''unnatural sexual intercourse" with someone under 16 can be imprisoned for life for statutory rape, even if the sex is consensual. ...
Thanks.
Things like this went on why I was in highschool and that was before clintoon.

Four years of high school for $130,080.
What Rush called, "Monica's view."
Teachers from Philippines arrive in Boston to teach math and science*** .At first it seemed as though the Philippine teachers wouldn't make it. Bureaucratic problems with obtaining visas for the teachers delayed their arrivalfor several weeks. US Representative Michael Capuano and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, both Massachusetts Democrats, worked with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to speed up the process.
''Their arrival means that a significant number of students will be able to get the good education they need and deserve,'' Kennedy said in a statement welcoming the teachers.

LOL I guess I went to the wrong high school then.
LOL!
Apparently the law is that anyone who has not reached the age of consent cannot legally consent... something like that
A stronger message would have been sent had Bill Clinton been expelled seven years ago.
Yes.
I agree.
Perhaps many of these students heard, "it's only about sex," from their LIBERAL, Clinton supporting parents.
LOL... I think I was a redunant and repeated myself in that post I already done did.
