School Daze, Chapter CCLXVI

Of all the anal retentive applications of school rules, this one takes the cake. The kid signed a paper saying he would behave on a field trip. Nothing wrong with that. The field trip was cancelled so the kid and his girlfriend go to her house for a little sex education. The school suspended the kid (no word on whether the girl was suspended) for being a bad boy “during school hours”. WTF?

In my not-so-humble opinion this has a suckage factor of at least 9.2 on the Kinsey Scale. What say you about this? If I were the kid’s parents I’d be livid and filing a lawsuit too. Of course “junior” would get a good dose of my belt across his backside but that’s another story for another day ...

Sex Leads to Boy’s Suspension
_{May 8, 2006}

RALEIGH, NC (WTVD)—Wake County school officials have suspended a boy for having sex during school hours. Ryan Biggar, 16, and his 17-year-old girlfriend had permission to leave Middle Creek High School for an off-campus program. When their event was canceled for the day, they were caught having sex in the girl’s home.

It violated school rules, and officials say those rules apply no matter where you are during school hours. But the Biggar’s family is filing a lawsuit against the school system, saying his suspension for the rest of the school year is unconstitutional. He says he had no notice that private, consensual, off-campus sexual activity could subject him to school suspension.

Some students told Eyewitness News that the rules are unclear. “I think he shouldn’t get suspended because he was at his house. What he does at his house should stay at his house,” said senior Jajuan Blanton. A mother disagrees. “Restrictions say you’re on school time, then you are on school time whether you’re at lunch or not,” said Mary Ann Buesing.

Wake County school spokesman Michael Evans says that having sex during school hours breaks the rules - - even in a private home. “Whereever you are during school hours. It’s a privilege to leave campus for lunch and you sign a form to that effect, as do your parents,” Evans said. “So it was with full consent and knowledge that they participate under these rules and if they chose to break them then disciplinary action will come into play.”

Court documents include a copy of the lunch permit application, which states that students exercising off-campus lunch privileges are subject to the rules of student conduct, as applicable to the regular school day. Biggar and one of his parents had signed the application. Biggar is appealing his suspension. A hearing is set for May 15. It is unclear if his girlfriend was suspended, since she is not suing anyone and school records are not public.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
