"Preying is OK, Praying is not."

My first thought, too. If they'd caught him praying, he'd immediately have been fired, he would have lost his teaching certificate and his union wouldn't haved lifted a finger to help him-he would never see the inside of a gym again.

LOL good, but you don't do your kid much good if you're in jail for assault.

I got two older boys both capable of helping out and I have several brothers in a close family.

Sure it plays a part, but so might a Dad's attitude that males have touched females in these ways for thousands of years and really, were the girls just overreacting or hysterical to a little touch ? Isn't this just a normal part of a girl growing up ? How else do you explain all the Dads of these girls doing nothing ?

/sarcasm

"Yes, where I live (and probably many other places also), girls and boys wrestle each other. "

I thought that happened everywhere, except maybe at Castro HS in San Francisco.

I have fond memories of wrestling with a couple of the girls at my high school.

I'm sure you do - I would ask who won, but don't want to embarrass you. :)

Oh, it wasn't really a competition. You know...just practice.
