You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals...
Most of you have probably heard about this by now, WTHR 13 investigates is working hard on the story...School district: Sixth graders had sex in class
Indianapolis - For months it's been a well-kept secret. But now Warren Township Schools confirm a disturbing case of sex in the classroom. The illicit activity has parents concerned and a district at a loss for words.
Shop class gives students a chance to learn outside of the book. But at Warren Township's Raymond Park Middle School, two students engaged in illicit acts in view of goggled eyes.
13 Investigates was tipped off by a disturbed resident who writes:
"...during school hours in a classroom with an experienced teacher present, two sixth graders completed the act of intercourse...at least ten students were witnesses. No disciplinary actions were taken against the teacher... All teachers were told to keep quiet."
Middle school students having sex in a busy classroom while a teacher is present? Warren Township Associate Superintendent Jeff Swensson confirmed it's true. It's been kept under wraps since November.
The principal at Raymond Park Middle School would not speak to us about the incident or parents concerns. The superintendent in charge of middle schools in the district also backed out of an on-camera interview and instead provided a three-sentence statement:
"Two students were involved in inappropriate conduct in a lab class last semester. We have investigated the matter and taken appropriate action. The school corporation considers the matter closed and will have no further comment."
Associate Superintendent Jeff Swensson told Eyewitness News off camera the teacher didn't know what was going on because another student acted as a "look-out." But once the teacher discovered the behavior, immediate action was taken. Swensson says the students involved were recommended for expulsion. But he did not say whether the board followed that recommendation.
Warren Township School Police were not aware of the incident and say no report was made even though the children were recommended for expulsion.
We sought comment from all seven Warren Township School Board Members about how this case was handled. No one was available to speak with us.
And of course since it got national attention they had to run an update here...which siad nothing new, but you can read it anyways if you like.
Finally, they decided that we meeded one more so they ran this update, which again does about nothing!
Hmmm...I guess the job of the media is to cause a fuss and a frendzy, especially if the organization is supported by your tax dollars. There has been a lot of speculation associated with this case, student heresay (which normally is worth a grain of salt), and basicially no evidence or information since everyone is keeping there mouths shut tight. I am going to guess that someone will pay enough or find the right person that a staff will betray the school so wath carefully for the rest of the story.
I am not one to judge or start more of a stir, but here is what I think. This is a symptom of bigger problems, namely the degregation of our society and an overcrowded classroom. When we restore some morality to our schools and culture, things like this will be the exception not the rule. We need to threaten real punishment on the students and their parents. When people have nothing to be scared of, and have no moral compass you get a troubled society. I love America, but are getting in trouble quick!
