In my day, "getting drilled" in shop class had a much different meaning

School officials refuse to comment on sex incident

Indianapolis - The Warren Township school district is gaining national attention after a 13 Investigates report confirmed young students engaging in sexual activity during class time. School officials are refusing to comment publicly, prompting concern and outrage among township parents. Two days after 13 Investigates uncovered hidden facts about two Raymond Park Middle School students engaging in sexual activity during shop class, Warren Township School administrators still aren’t talking.

Man, shop class was NEVER like this when I was in school, which was probably a good thing since my shop classes were always all boys. Of course, it’s easy for people to run around in circles acting as if the sky is falling, but I’m not at all certain that this behavior isn’t as old as sex itself. It’s just that now with da Interweb and 24-hour cable news channels and the Drudge Report and…yadayadayada…this information is much more readily accessible and available. It just seems worse, because we actually know about it now.

With information so much more readily available, there are fewer places for kids to hide. It’s easy to think and worry that our child are becoming much more sexualized at a much earlier age, and perhaps there’s something to that. Sometimes, it does seem as if our children are exposed to way too much sex way too early…and how can we expect them to process that at an age when playing with dolls and GI Joes should be their biggest concerns?

Then again, this really oughta get the prudes good and fired up, don’tcha think? Man, I can hardly wait for the paroxysms of righteous indignation to burst forth across the airwaves…. BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR PRECIOUS, INNOCENT CHILDREN??? Well, they’ve obviously figured out the meaning of “getting drilled”, haven’t they??
