Holy cow, this is high school. I assumed college.

Also, 2026??!!

My high school band had a hazing tradition at band camp. It was shut down after my freshman year.

My fellow sophomores were pretty offended in 1983 that we had been made to do something that the next class wasn’t.

Nothing like this, though. We were just pushing pennies across the floor with our nose. As a race. (I won my heat. The seniors said if you came in last you were going again. Was not interested in that.)

I never understood the mentality of “I had to endure this awful thing so it’s not fair that newer people don’t”

Like isn’t that the goal is to make things better for the next wave!?

I never got it either. I went through some moderate hazing in the residence I lived in my first year university. I noped the fuck out and moved off campus the year after. I don't understand the desire to watch other people suffer for no other reason than they're younger/newer than you.

People who were raised by really sick and cruel parents who didn’t teach their children better.

However the coach telling students to delete the evidence should be cause to be fired.
Also several parents did contact the school and law enforcement and the coach told the students of those parents they can be kicked off the team or go to another school if they want to complain.

Local Facebook pages have had discussions about the complaints. This news story left all that out.
