Bronx Science Sexual Harassment

As some of you guys may know, all of us bloggers are freshman in high school and to tell the truth, sometimes I wish I had been born a year earlier. I've missed out on some pretty dramatic events that have occurred in the past year. I know that no matter when I enter high school, I will have always missed something, but I seriously feel left out. As many of you probably know nothing about Bronx Science here is a quick run-down. 

The Bronx High School of Science is a specialized public High School in Bronx, NY. As of 2013 it is ranked #2 in the state of New York and  #34 in the United States of America (Public High School Ranking). Those are all of the logistics, but I know that all of you guys are reading this for the gossip. 

Two major events that I missed out on are ex-Principal Reidy's resignation and the track team scandal. I'll have another blog post about principal Reidy because she was more corrupt than Somalia.  

The track team scandal was huge for Bronx Science. After the Stuyvesant cheating scandals, Bronx Science had this golden crown of virtue and morality. This scandal changed that. 

The reason why this thing is a huge controversy is because the teachers believe the  allegation full-heartedly and the students think it's bullshit. 

So what was the scandal about?

Freshman Micheal Webber of the Bronx Science track team stated that three junior boys had sexually harassed him in the locker rooms. I don't think I need to go into further detail with this. 

New York tabloids tend to exaggerate everything, look at what the Daily News writes on a slow news day. However, some students say that the tabloids were unfairly implying that the juniors were at fault, even before the trails had even started. The former editor of the school newspaper wrote about this topic here:

Some reasons why students are ruling out the possibility of the scandal include, knowing the juniors who were accused, and locker room common sense. The locker rooms are locked three minutes after all students are changed and ready to go and only unlocked at the end of gym/sports practice. When changing for sports there's an average of 20 people in the locker rooms at all times. Now, there could have been an instance where the doors were accidentally left unlocked. However, it seems that everyone who knew these juniors are backing them up because they're all good guys and would  never do such a thing. Some students say that even though the guys track team likes to tease each other, no one would ever do what the juniors were accused of doing because that's just too gay. 

Whatever the case is I have come to two conclusions. We will never know what happened because there are no cameras in the locker rooms. Because we will never know Michael Webber will be the most hated person in Bronx Science as all the students have ganged up against him. 

Sorry for the messy writing, but I just really wanted to write this.
