From the Bainbridge Buzz and confirmed by BHS students Kaitlin Chester and Taylor Hinderer:
Approximately 40 male BHS students were called out of class this week for a session with principal Brent Peterson. Their misdeed? Membership in a group on the website, Facebook.com, named "Men Are Simply Superior To Women."
Even though the students weren't disciplined, they were pulled from class to receive the lecture, called by name over the intercom system.
According to Chester and Hinderer (both female), and the comments of other BHS students posted at the Buzz, the facebook group was purely satirical. But that doesn't matter. Even if the 40 students who were pulled from class are misogynists, they were not engaged in a school activity. It is not the school's job to police the private lives of US citizens.
This Orwellian bit takes the cake:
But he [Principal Brent Peterson] told the students that if this information could get to him, there is no reason why it couldn't be sent to anyone, including every college admissions office in the country.
Associate principal Dean Fritts adds, "Admissions offices and prospective employers are telling our guidance counselors that they are increasingly looking at the Internet and social sites for data on applicants."
The problem is a lot larger than BHS though, because I suspect that Fritts is correct.
As for the get-a-life college students (purportedly from Columbia University) who ratted to BHS : You got pwned!
