发帖数: 2555 | 1 Some male students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland have been
disciplined after it was discovered they created and shared a list on
social media on which they ranked their female classmates based on their
looks.
According to school officials, the students targeted 18 senior girls by
creating a list with their first names and a rating beside each.
In a letter sent to parents and students on March 9, according to Washington
, D.C., news station NBC4, Principal Donna Jones said, “This incident has
been very upsetting for students, staff and families. B-CC High School has
no tolerance for bullying. Our school strives to create a sense of belonging
and respect for all students. This incident does not reflect those values.
” Jones did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle’s requests for
comment.
“I think, honestly, the consensus was that it wasn’t an OK thing at all,
and all the girls, they kind of banded together and took it on as a team
because it was really hurtful to a lot of people,” a female student told
NBC4.
Although Jones said that the students were disciplined based on the school
system’s code of conduct, some students believe more should have been done.
“I don’t think [the administration] handled it well at all,” senior Jane
Corcoran, whose name was on the list, told Bethesda Magazine. “Basically,
what admin did, in my honest opinion, by dismissing it and not giving the
boys a strong punishment, is saying, ‘Boys will be boys and that’s OK. We
can’t get them in trouble for something immature guys do.’ ”
According to Corcoran, a group of 50 boys circulated the list for a year
before a female student saw it open on a laptop in class two weeks ago.
Female students told the news outlet that one male student was the “
ringleader,” and he received a brief in-school suspension, whereas the rest
of the boys were not punished.
Corcoran said that a meeting was organized for the girls involved to share
their feelings while the boys “sat and listened.” To the student, it “
wasn’t good enough.”
“It was like seeing everything you are insecure about brought to you by
someone else. Putting a number on a girl like this is the same as any other
slur — a homophobic or racial slur. It’s a way to degrade women,” she
said. | d****o
