Should this student be punished ?
MASCOUTAH, IL— A 13-year-old junior high school student was given two days of detention after school officials spotted her hugging friends after school last Friday. Megan Coulter, an eighth-grade student at Mascoutah Middle School, was hugging her friends goodbye after school Friday when vice principal, Randy Blakely, saw her and told her she would receive two after-school detentions - Should a student be punished for ‘hugging a friend’ ?
It sounds like it was a consensual hug, it is ridiculous they would punish her for that.
what the hell??? I give my friends hugs all the time!!! everyone does it. my gosh people are TOO strict these days. Just let adolescents breathe; they’re stressed enough!!!
no way what so ever loads of people from my class hug eachother and its ok even though it looks lezie I think you should never get a detension for that!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT? im going to go to school tommorow( today actualy, since its like 1am) and im going to go up to someone in front of the princeapal and I am going to hugg one of my friends, and I will say no if he punishes me, because I think its total bullcrap that they would punish you for that.
no way! what are they thinking?! its retarded and unless your leaving a part of the story out which I dont believe u are, im prettty sure most everyone agrees!
This is total crap. I’m so sick of our public schools.
We must except and embrace homosexuals who have sex with the same sex. BUT SHAME ON HUGS!!! SHAME ON GOD! SHAME ON TRUTH!
What total crap. Don’t even get me started on this whole topic.
I don’t see the problem at all.
I hug my friends all the time, I see no problem. Maybe the principal was a homophobic? Even though the girl was not, he might of thought she was/becoming homosexual?
It’s definately an EVIL act that should be dealt with swiftly…100 lashes should cover it…or maybe send them to Sunday school, which would be just as painful.
Well,is there a problem?Its just hug and nothing else.This student should NOT be punished.
This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. The public school system is going to hell in a handbasket.
Ya that is bull$%#@… But for the future I wouldnt list the names of the people.. Just for there privacy…
That is definitly rediulous.
Possibly lesbianism spotted? I’ve read something similar before.
omg I hugs guys in school all the time and im 12. thats so wrong because I have a lot of guy friends that I hug
$#*@%!!! No way!!!
what the?!! are they okay?!!! I ALWAYS HUG MY FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL!! I’m 13, and I do it righ infront of the principal!! she never even THOUGHT about givin’ us a punishment like writting, “I learned not to hug her/him again” a 100 times..etc. oh my god!!! they shouldn’t!!!
