Sixth-grader punished for taking swimsuit magazine to school
The Associated Press
BELPRE, Ohio (AP) -
A sixth-grader started serving a three-day suspension Tuesday because
he refused a lesser punishment for bringing the Sports Illustrated
swimsuit issue to school, the schools superintendent said.
Justin Reyes had the magazine in the gymnasium at Belpre Middle School
before classes Feb. 18, and Principal Kathy Garrison cited him for
violating school's policy on nonverbal harassment and possession of
lewd or suggestive material, Superintendent Tim Swarr said.
Garrison ordered the 12-year-old boy to spend two days at an
alternative school where students from several area districts are sent
when they get into trouble.
But Swarr said Justin and his mother, Nicole Reyes, refused to accept
the alternative school punishment, so the penalty was increased to
three days of out-of-school suspension.
"Last time I checked, we were in charge of running the schools," Swarr
said.
Nicole Reyes said the alternative school was too harsh a punishment.
"It's not like it's Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler," she said.
"To me, it's American culture. .... He should not have taken it to
school, but I don't think it's morally wrong for a child that's almost
13 to look at it."
She said her son bought the magazine with money he received for
Christmas, and she was aware of the purchase.
Swarr said he had never seen SI's swimsuit edition before.
"I was shocked," he said.
"It doesn't belong in public schools."

What kind of man lives in this country and hasn't seen (or at least heard
of) the SI Swimsuit issue? Either this superintendent is a fool, or is
completely isolated from the real world or is lying? (or some combination
thereof)
"I was shocked," he said.

Hell, he probably confiscated it and was last seen taking it into the
teachers rest room with him.

Nah, if he had he would not have been so damned uptight about it and bounced
the kid.

It would seem that Sports Illustrated disagrees with you. At least
they did in the last SI TV advertisement I saw a few years ago. When
the swimsuit issue was mentioned the mother covered her son's eyes.
In any event it should be up to the school district to determine what
is lewd or lascivious. This realy seems like a local matter that is
none of our business.

I think you missed my point. Or are you referring to the original post?

Yes, indeed. A hazard of using web clients.
