Why is it some nuts (religous and socialist) hate the heterosexual sex drive? Right out of the book 1984 where the party was about to ban sexuality.

The kid was on Jimmy Kimmel Live just now. Normal all American kid freckled face kid.

The 12-year-old boy had the magazine in the gymnasium at Belpre Middle School before classes Feb. 18, and the principal cited him for violating the school's policy on nonverbal harassment and possession of lewd or suggestive material

[BradyLS]

The teacher should have confiscated it and returned it when class was over for the day. Kid shoulda simply left it at home. Mom's just happy her little boy likes girls.

Un-freakin' believable.

I wonder if he, or a female student, would have been suspended for a vanity fair with Moore on the cover?

[M. Peach]

It probably would have been OK if it was some gay magazine...

[King Prout]

my cynical soul, fatigued from enduring the latest rounds of homosexual agitation, is of the opinion that that might be why the kid was punished.
"Normal" is intolerable, these days.

"It's not like it was Hustler, Playboy or Penthouse," Reyes said.

Way to turn that frown upside down! Ah, the day a parent defends her kid by saying "Hey, it wasn't Hustler!"

Want to bet that someone 'kept' his magazine?

February 25, 1934: The 12-year-old boy had the magazine in the gymnasium at Robert E. Lee Junior High School. The principal gave him 20 whacks with the paddle for violating the school's policy on possession of lewd or suggestive material.

"Last time I checked, we were in charge of running the schools," Swarr said.

Last time I checked Mrs. Reyes (and other parents) paid your salary, you dipsh*t.

He was ordered to spend two days at an alternative school

For being a normal 12 year old boy. Gee, he probably likes baseball, too.

Man, when I was in 8th grade, we took a sports course. The school paid for subs to SI, one for each student in the class. At the end of the week, I the teacher usually let me take home any leftover copies. Some issues I had 20 copies of, but the week the Swimsuit issue came out, most everyone took theirs home.

So anyway, for us, this was considered a textbook for one course. :)

[drhogan]

this is really pathetic.

[Bonaparte]

Like the boy's mother, you don't get it. The school didn't say the boy couldn't look at it. They said it was against their rules to bring it to school. Nor did the school say they had anything against the "heterosexual sex drive," only that they didn't want that type of material brought to the school. They were well within their rights and even the kid's mother had the sense to admit that he was wrong to bring it with him.

[RushLake]

If he'd had a copy of the faggot "Advocate", he'd probably have been lauded for celebrating diversity.

[American_Centurion]

I'll bet the school library had this same issue in the periodicals section.

I remember seeing SI swimsuit edition in the library when I was in Elementary school.

I will have to modify my first sentance, It WAS in the school library, unless this principal is and idiot he had it removed already.

[garbanzo]

Right out of the book 1984 where the party was about to ban sexuality.

Lots of things today are right out of 1984.

[GigaDittos]

Remove that image, at once!!!! I'm offended.

/sarcasm

[Cooter]

The current issue of Rolling Stone contains a picture of Janet Jackson with exposed breast. I'll bet there are lots of copies of that mag all over schools, moving under the radar of oblibious teachers and principals.

Whatever you say, Herr Swarr.
