The male teacher needed to discuss this with the parents, hopefully they did. Sexuality is normal just many societies suppress it, punish it or don't give proper guidance. Giving "birth control", a talk on genital functioning and STDs doesn't cut it.

This obsession with sex, whether homo or hetero is just plain disfunctional in my book.
There once was a time when hosing these boys down with cold water would have been completely acceptable. Once kids would have been too embarrassed to be caught doing something like this in public. Sad statement on society.

To put this in context, kids are being bullied to death in our schools. They are being physically attacked. They are being raped/sexually assaulted... lone kids are attacked and maimed by gangs of kids. Many of the 'teachers' are marginally literate. Many are bullies, themselves. Other teachers are being attacked and maimed. Things are so out of control in so many schools (and teachers are so powerless), it is conceivable that this behavior was simply a segue from a whole day-full of misbehavior in this teacher's classes.

The presence of a group of boys rubbing themselves through their gym shorts and looking at their cell phones (and each other) was probably so not unlike their usual behavior, it probably barely registered with the weary teacher that anything was more wrong than usual.

Furthermore, the article is so badly written (possibly including deliberate distortions), it is difficult to know what actually happened.

The students, BTW, probably have had their words packaged by journalists, in order to make them make more sense than they would have otherwise. I mean, do you know what mostly goes to public schools in Southern California, these days? Calling this a 'Gay Test', and explaining the 'rules', is probably about like explaining your dog's motivations in people terms. Just like people talk for their dogs, some people give themselves license to talk for certain classes of people.

I say SO WHAT? Nobody was being attacked. Nobody was being raped. Nobody was being sodomized with a broomstick (Remember that series of incidents from wrestling teams, a few years back?). Nobody's life was ruined, as is the case with so much of what goes on in the children's prisons which today are called 'Schools'. No broken bones. No brain damage. No pregnancies...

So really, compared to what else goes on in schools today, this was NOTHING.

I don't think the teacher saw any students masturbating in class. If that were the case, the headlines would have said something a lot different. This article is missing a lot of facts. I'm starting to think that there was no masturbating, just talk of it and watching porn.

California tends to be pretty strict on a lot of issues, especially sexual behavior. If the kids kids were in deed masturbating, then the police would surely be involved. Sounds like a group of kids got suspended for watching porn, doesn't matter if its gay or not, in class.

So even though multiple outlets confirm the story and other students saw these students masturbating, you don't believe it?

All details to the contrary.

All details to the contrary.

It says students told, but that could be one student said something, and administrators asked others and they agreed. Or one student told, and the others that did not see, but knew what the "test" is so they said yeah, they were jerking it.

I'm just saying, there is a lot to the article that is not making sense. If the teacher saw or knew more, they yes, there may be reason to take more action. We just don't know the details!

As for what they were watching, no mention to the title of the video. Could be soft core? Porn when I was in middle school would have been a Victoria Secrets catalog.

As of now, nothing in the article is proving or confirming exactly what happened, just a bunch of hearsay and gossip.

As long as kids aren't drinking cokes, let the kids do what they want.

We are dysfunctional. Walk around completely disassociated. Obviously, this was inappropriate, but our society seems obsessed with porn and all kinds of sexual subjects. Males especially.

I am saying, it is a normal tendency, but it needs to be addressed properly. I don't think repression or condemnation is a proper approach. Nor one that is effective. Plenty of places it would get you locked up I am sure.

Yeah, where are the good old days when less popular girls would be targeted by the football team and gang raped under the bleachers....
