Footage of the assembly shows a scene that would make even Sigmund Freud cringe. Dads kissing daughters. Mothers kissing sons. And these are not just innocent pecks on the lips. The parents are intimately lip-locking their children for several seconds. One even progresses to rolling around on the gym floor. In another instance, a mother moves her son’s hand south so he’s grasping her butt.
I may have grown up in Minnesota, but never could I have imagined, even in the deepest, darkest depths of winter, that something so odd and…well, sick could happen. What might have possessed administrators and, even worse, parents, allowing them to think that something like this was appropriate…well, it simply defies rational understanding.
The idea of blindfolding the captains of sports teams seemed odd but innocent enough. Having them make out with someone while blindfolded was a bit stranger, but OK…. That the “someone” was one of their parents was…well, pretty sick and disturbing, actually. Not to put too fine a point on it, but how does staging a public display of incestuous behavior further a school’s educational mission?
Officials from Rosemount High School are apologizing for a so-called “prank” that will almost surely lead to a lifetime of awkward family gatherings and thousands of hours of therapy for the students involved.
Right. Oops….
So who’s going to be paying for the therapy…and shouldn’t someone be losing their job for even allowing this to be considered as a school activity, much less giving it the green light??
