Dravin Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 Rosemount High School Kiss Prank Leads to Apology | Video | TheBlaze.comI just want to know how something like this didn't get stopped on multiple points? The most obvious two are:1) The planning stage: How on earth did the planners think this was a good idea? 2) The recruiting parents stage: Why on earth would the parents agree to it? And some of those who did why on earth did they up the ante (I'm thinking of grope my butt mother).It really boggles my mind that something like this even left the ground let alone made it as far as it did.

Vort Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I was literally sick to my stomach reading this yesterday or the day before. I mean, seriously, ewwwwwww... Don't people THINK? If I were one of the kids, I wouldn't talk to my mother again. Quote
beefche Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 Why wasn't CPS called? If these parents had done that to their kids anywhere else, they would be investigated. But, because it was a "prank", it was appropriate? Quote
annewandering Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 Its disgusting and reeks of incest. Now those kids can go through life KNOWING how it felt to engage in a sexual activity with their mom. Wonderful. Quote
beefche Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 Notice that both boys and girls participated in this. That means some dads kissed their daughters. Interestingly, we aren't hearing of any reports on those kisses. Just on the kisses the moms gave their sons. Quote
Dravin Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Posted December 19, 2011 Don't people THINK?I really hope that it was a lapse of thought*, the alternative is they thought it through thoroughly and still thought it a good idea. That somehow makes it even worse.*To put it extremely mildly. Quote
pam Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 We did something similar when I was in high school. The difference being it was actually a student that did the kissing and we had the parent standing there when the blind folds were taken off. It wasn't the parents kissing their child. This is disgusting. Quote
annewandering Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 Ugh. Someone there is sick. Pam, now that sounds a lot better. I wouldnt do either but yours was actually a prank. Quote
pam Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I couldn't even imagine getting up in front of a gym full of students and stand there and make out with my own son. The thought just makes me sick to my stomach. Quote
Jennarator Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I couldn't even finish reading the article. It was too disturbing! Eeewww!! I agree and thing CPS should have been called. Quote
annewandering Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I dont even want to think about it. What parent would besides perverts? Quote
pam Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I saw an article on this several days ago. I thought it was like the one we did when I was a teenager. It wasn't until today on this thread that I found out it was the parents. Quote
HoosierGuy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 So everyone says it's sick. But isn't it wrong to let students give each other passionate kisses with other students? It's a school for goodness sake, not a kissing school. Maybe they felt it was more respectable and safe to do it this way. Another question - is a mom/dad kissing their son/daughter on the lips a little passionately considered incest? I admit it does have an icky factor but I don't think it is incest. I can see how something like this happened. No kissing contests should be going on. Asia is making more and more doctors and here we are with kissing contests in school. Also note this story is from the Blaze. Quote
Vort Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 I actually don't disagree with anything you wrote, Hoosier. A school assembly involving students being blindfolded and kissed is simply wrong. But I'm used to public schools being cesspools. What was true when I was a child is even more true today. What I am not used to is parents being complicit in such activity, and willingly providing such a nauseating twist to the proceedings. Quote
UrbanFool Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 I'm disturbed and I haven't even opened the article! I trust you guys. Quote
annewandering Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 good plan hooser. man if I had known it was from the blaze I wouldnt have opened it either. Quote
Dravin Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Posted December 20, 2011 Also note this story is from the Blaze.And? Not everyone knows your opinion on various news sources. Are you insinuating it's not true? It's overblown? What?If it helps there are other links:The Associated Press: Kissing prank offends some at Minn. high schoolRosemount principal apologizes for parent-on-student kissing prank | StarTribune.comKissing prank goes awry at Rosemount High School (w/ VIDEO) - TwinCities.comU.S. News - Kissing prank offends some at Minn. high schoolVideo: Kissing prank gross out?High school 'prank' has blindfolded students kissing...their parents : News : NorthwestOhio.com Quote

HoosierGuy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 It's stories like this and others that cause parents to keep their kids in home school or send them to private schools. Quote
beefche Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 How so? This was PARENTS who kissed their own kids. How would going to private school or home school prevent a parent from kissing their own child passionately? Quote
annewandering Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Mostly they dont want their kids to think that sort of behaviour is proper and acceptable. Quote
Dravin Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Posted December 20, 2011 How so? This was PARENTS who kissed their own kids. How would going to private school or home school prevent a parent from kissing their own child passionately?I think HoosierGuy's thinking is that events like this will be used a reason for homeschooling over public school. Basically in making the case (to themselves or others) for why public school is bad (compared to homeschooling or private schooling) some fingers will be pointed at this event. Quote
Vort Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 It's stories like this and others that cause parents to keep their kids in home school or send them to private schools.My oldest, now 19, is leaving on his mission in a few weeks. We homeschooled him from his earliest childhood. Stories like these had very little to do with our decision -- though I admit it certainly does provide confirmation bias. Quote
RescueMom Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Why Why Why would the parents agree to this???? I'm all for packing up and leaving sodom and gomorrah now. I won't even look back... Quote
