Never fails. If it has to do with sex, someone’s going to get involved that has no business doing so. Someone has to impose their morals on someone they think is wrong. I don’t think that’ll change.

kudos to the girls for not just meekly being told how they can express themselves. are the printing-out-and-bringing to school kids going to get punished? as a parent of a teenager i’m constantly terrified, but you basically can only guide, advise, and love your kids, you can’t control them.

i completly agree with R. And not only that, what is councilling supposed to do towards helping them? repressed sexuality at their age will only lead to more problems later on.

Great they didn’t just lay down and take it – so to speak.

Well… at least they’re fighting back. Good for them.

Aside from everything else that’s wrong with this, is the fact that it’s none of the school’s fucking business. The girls did not post the pictures using school computers, the pictures were not taken on school grounds, the pictures did not involve the school in any way… so why does the school feel it’s entitled to “discipline” them?

I agree with Daniel. This had nothing to do with the school; school wasn’t even in session. The first amendment reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I don’t see anything that states schools have the right to censor what students do, on their own time, in their own home, not even in the school year.

Making the young women apologize to MALE COACHES because they were licking a “penis-shaped” sucker. Excuse me — I don’t want to get graphic here, however, I can’t help but wonder how many of those men have had the same sort of activity performed on them?

It had nothing to do with them. It is my humble opinion that the principal and the coaches should apologize in public, not only to the young women, also to every woman in the United States. The school system needs to keep their nose out of the young women’s business outside of the school year and school. GO GET THEM ACLU!!!

If someone’s not able to handle with teen sexuality and doesn’t know how to guide them, he just tries to repress it.
What really shocks me is the humilation these teens have to endure. This may affect their sexualtiy in a negative way for the rest of their lives.
What also makes me angry in this context, is that there’s always someone who violates the privacy of other by publishing the pictures but doesn’t get any punishment for it.
