In many parts of the country it’s cold outside, which means young people are spending more time INDOORS where, apparently, the coolest thing to do is hazing your teammates and friends. In one case we see the return of teabagging (rubbing one’s junk on another male’s face) in another we had someone go to the hospital, and in the third, several faculty members have been suspended for failing to report an incident. Now for the details:

It’s Teabagging Time in Indiana! – Five male students at Greensburg Junior High School (four eighth graders and a seventh grader) have been suspended for their part in an “inappropriate hazing-style incident” that occurred sometime before Christmas. According to a source, the teens were suspended after an internal investigation revealed that members of the basketball team held down at least one other teammate down while other players sat on them in nothing but their underwear–or less–and then “slapped the restrained boy in the face with their genitalia.” How’d you like to have that on your permanent record?

LAPD Looking to HS Hazing After Staff Fail to Report Incidents – Details are still sketchy, but at least six STAFF members at Taft High School (Los Angeles) were reportedly transferred to non-school-based jobs this week while an investigation continued into alleged hazing incidents involving members of the boy’s volleyball team. Why the transfers? The alleged incidents reportedly happened a while back and the adults involved failed to report them. Oops! And now the cops are involved, so we fully expect to hear more about this one. (MSNBC)

Aggie Corps Hazing Returns! – Two Texas A&M cadets have been arrested and charged with hazing in connection with an incident that allegedly happened last semester. According to police, an Aggie sophomore claims he suffered internal injuries after he was pulled out of a Corps activity and taken to Spencer Park where–we’re not making this up!–he asked to perform seven different physical exercises for nearly two hours.

Two days later he was still in pain–no sh*t!–and went to the hospital where he received “invasive treatment” for his injuries (we’re assuming that means surgery or some kind of anal probe.) The attackers claim the victim was just “being disciplined for not following Corps standards and conduct” but the group itself says that corrective physical exercise for minor offenses are limited to push -ups, sit-ups, and flutter kicks and must also be administered in the hallway of corps dorms, or on the corps quad.

Back in 2003 we reported on a series of hazing incidents involving parts of the Corps, a male quasi-cheerleading group for the Aggies:

Texas A&M Corps Hazing Incident Bitterly Divides College – Earlier this year, BadJocks proclaimed the Aggie school “The Hazing Capital of the World” after the latest of several incidents involving cadets was reported. The latest one involves spankings with an ax handle, but there have been plenty of others over the past few years: Last year, photos of members of its Corps of Cadets stripped naked and bound with duct tape were found, although no charges were filed because it was “consensual’. (see image below) The crown jewel, of course, was when junior members of the Corps–who shoot off the school’s cannon at football games–were accused of hazing sophomores by dousing them with “URINE AND HORSE FECES.”

Yeah, that looks consensual to us. After seeing that, it makes you wonder why hazing is still a problem on the A&M campus. Hmm . . .
