A teen was recently arrested. The crime? Mooning a teacher. Considered indecent exposure.

Is this a serious offense, or a non-issue?

I purposely obfuscated the genders of the two involved. Because--does it matter? If they were of the same or different genders, does it make a difference?

Mooning a teacher in the classroom is disruptive and disrespectful, as well as indecent exposure. Mooning someone in public is indecent exposure.

Someone I know was once mooned by someone in the car next to him. He got his own car close enough to the mooner to rub his lit cigarette into his bare butt.

It, like this thread, is a trifle.

I agree that it is a non-issue, and I would say it is not worthy of an arrest.

Which makes the thread not a trifle, so much.

Where I went to high school, low these many years ago, there was a main highway that went parallel to about twenty classrooms with large windows. The highway was only about a hundred feet away from the school which when it comes to mooning, is about the perfect distance.

About two or three times a year someone would moon those 20 classrooms from a passing car, usually with horn blaring. Fortunately the mooner was always the passenger and not the driver. To get technical, there were three versions of the moon. The "half moon", "full moon", and the "full moon with pressed ham and eggs". The "half moon" was a covered buttocks. The "full moon" was a naked buttocks. And the "full moon with pressed ham and eggs" was a naked buttocks with a male's private paraphernalia exposed outwards between the legs. During my time in high school I witnessed one moon, a "full moon". It was worth a short chuckle. Such things are harmless pranks.

Of course in todays society, the PC Police want to label the "mooner" as a sex offender!! Sad!

As a staunch conservative, I must say that mooning is just juvenile and silly and certainly not worthy of the status of a 'crime.'

But then again, this is a country where parents will let a kid watch a movie rated 'R' for violence but not for sex...prudes and stick-up-the-butts.

and I would agree. Yes, mooning has been going on for years and it can be innocent fun, but when a student moons a teacher if nothing else it is totally disresptful and indecent. Is it a sex offense, of course not, but somehow we have to get control over students and classroom again. It is getting totally out of hand.
