mo’ money mo’ problems…
we found it only fitting to quote the great sean combs (p. diddy), a parent of at least one student at the equally great horace mann school to introduce this story.
seems that the school that educates the children of new york’s elite has a little bit of a public relations problem. new york magazine outlines the kids’ use of facebook for a little more than personal expression. seems like those crazy kids started a “Facebook group titled the “Men’s Issues Club” mocking a student organization on campus called the Women’s Issues Club. The 44 members of the parody club included children of both trustees and the legion of prominent names who send their children to Horace Mann…One club member referred to an English teacher as a “crazy ass bitch” and a French teacher as an “acid casualty.” Another boy boasted that he’s “the only person here who actually beats women when hes [sic] drunk….The club summed up its mission thus: “For too long men have not had a way to express themselves and their beliefs in society. Men need to have a voice, we aren’t meant to be seen and not heard. Let freedom ring, bitches.”
when a disgusted teacher voiced her outrage, one of the parent board members rationalized the behavior and indicated that “Students are just blowing off steam,” she said. “They’re stressed. It’s not unusual for them to say racist or sexist things.”
so in other words, when the kiddies experience a little bit of stress, they become misogynists and um, racists. when we adults get stressed out at work, we play scrabulous.
