Throw This Onto The 'Kids Are Cruel' Pile
-
You're a kid, and you get picked for a school team, and then you discover that you're going to be hazed, and hazed badly. Do you go ahead and do it and put up with the humiliation, or do you walk away? And do you report it? In this case, which is now in court, a girl got picked for her high school dance team, but then discovered she'd have to submit to blindfolded bikini maple syrup wrestling with an audience of boys and girls alike. She went through with it, but had her mom surreptitiously tape it from a distance, and now lawyers are involved, because they're suing the school. The school says that it's not its fault, that it has anti-hazing and anti-bullying policies in place. Again, though, would you have gone through with it? I think I'd have walked away, no matter how much I wanted to be on the team. (Washington Post)
