Do you ever see an ad — let’s say, that ad for Amazon Prime featuring the young woman who decides to “rock her mustache” — and wonder how many people it had to go through to make its way to your TV? Someone pitched the concept to the company, which decided to hire an actress and a production crew and buy airtime … did anyone along that assembly line speak up and say, “This is a bad idea?”
We’re wondering the same about this “licking game.” Who got the idea, from where, and managed to get a crew together to set up plexiglass windows in the gym for students and staff to lick each other? Didn’t anyone say, “This is a bad idea?”
The principal apparently didn’t think it was a bad idea, although the school district is now backtracking.
NEW: A middle school principal is facing discipline for an inappropriate, “sexualized” licking game between students and staff. The video will make you sick.
How are these adults in charge of kids?https://t.co/QdqZVoNWNe

Here’s the video, shot by a student:
Jason Rantz writes:
Before students left for spring break, Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick hosted an assembly and fundraiser that featured a competition between students and staff. Two plexiglass panes were stationed in the middle of the gymnasium and each side of the glass had four spots of marshmallow cream. Students and staff then competed to lick it off the plexiglass, often with adult educators and their minor students licking their respective sides of the glass at once. Students in the crowd could be heard screaming, “ew,” “disgusting,” “that’s so gross,” and “what the heck?” One student yelled, “who thought that this was a good idea?”
The superintendent has said, “The content of a video being shared on social media is highly concerning.”
The district statement actually says nothing. Entirely worthless.

Fire the administrator.

COVID-19 finally ends and schools are making students and teachers lick surfaces.

"What got me even more upset was when I saw the principal laughing and then pulling his phone out to videotape or take pictures of the event. He seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the game.." (Mother)
I'd be investigating that principle's computer real quick.

Yeah, that doesn’t look sexual at all…

How would this be appropriate at any workplace?

Seems we have no standards for teachers anymore.

This is what happens when you get the bottom of the barrel to babysit kids and call them 'teachers'

I love the comments asking where parents are. Are they allowed to see the curriculum? Weekly lesson plans? Aren’t they told by unions they have no right to know and teachers know better? Get your kids out of government run schools.

They call it the “Parents’ Right Movement” and agree that it must be stopped.
Incredible. Absolutely incredible that a group of adults would think this is ok.

Yikes. Those kids commenting knew it wasn’t a normal activity. So strange and inappropriate.

A former teacher noted in the replies that he used to pat students on the back and wouldn’t even feel comfortable doing that today.
