Middle School Teacher Let Students Have Sex In Classroom
GEORGIA — A Dekalb County school teacher, Champion Theme Middle, was arrested for allowing students to have sex in his classroom closet. This, after a mother told police of the allegations.
“I was in a state of disbelief when I read all these messages,” the mother told WSB-TV, referring to texts between her 14-year-old son and Quinton Wright, a math teacher and coach at Champion Theme Middle School in Stone Mountain. “Basically, he’s allowing the students to have sex in a storage room of his classroom.” The boy’s mother asked to remain anonymous.
The mother said she looked at her 14-year-old son’s phone and discovered a shocking exchange of text messages last Thursday between him and Quinton Wright, a math teacher and coach at Champion Theme Middle School in Stone Mountain.
“Ight, I’m going to bring my lab top to cut some of the noise back there,” reads one message allegedly sent by Wright.
“Ight,” the student responds.
“I ain’t got no condoms…Yall can’t be long,” reads Wright’s response.
“I’ll give u to money for it tomorrow can u get me a 3 pack of Trojan enz,” replies the student.
From CBS-Atlanta: “He told my son you can have it from 7:30 to like 8:30,” the mother said, reading more text messages to WSB. “’Did you tell the girl what’s going to happen? That she cannot tell anybody?’ Basically, don’t tell anyone I’m allowing you to use my room.”
The mother said the “sickening” and “disheartening” incident caused her to pull her eighth grade son from school Friday and contact the principal and police to file a complaint. The Dekalb County school system removed Wright from the classroom. She said she’s had her suspicions about the teacher for some time now.
“He called me when the kids are at their eighth-grade prom and asked if he could come over and take pictures with the boys before the prom, and I said no,” she said.
Boy Scouts of America bans water gun fights; ‘pointing a firearm’ is not kind
The Boy Scouts of America, an organization with semi-military origins, has put out approved activities for its members, and water gun fights are strictly prohibited. A blog for the organization’s leaders said May 6 that pointing simulated firearms at people is not allowed. “Why the rule? A Scouter once told me this explanation I liked quite a bit: A Scout is kind. What part of pointing a firearm [simulated or otherwise] at someone is kind?” said Bryan Wendell on the scouting website. The rule is clarified in the Boy Scouts of America National Shooting Manual, which says “For water balloons, use small, biodegradable balloons, and fill them no larger than a ping pong ball. […] Water guns and rubber band guns must only be used to shoot at targets, and eye protection must be worn.” The manual includes a lengthy list of other prohibited items — boomerangs, crossbows, potato guns, spear guns and throwing stars. Scouts also may not use “marshmallow shooters that require placing a straw or similar device in the mouth.”

Baden-Powell learned from his military experiences in India and southern Africa that young soldiers often lacked outdoor-survival skills. He also cited the Mafeking Cadet Corps, a group of adolescent and pre-adolescent boys that he used to great success during the Second Boer War siege of that town. The boys eagerly took on such essential military duties as couriers and intelligence, freeing older soldiers for more-demanding tasks. Numerous critical journalists and bloggers noted that Scouting when they were boys included such activities as bottle rockets, wooden sword fights and Midnight Football, which a Gawker author described as “a sort of combat rugby played in blackout conditions on a hard tile floor.” Negative feedback flowed into the comments section of the blog, complaining of political correctness, of “turning boys into a bunch of wusses,” and of an out-of-touch national leadership. “This makes BSA look ridiculous and has little if any impact on safety,” said Gary Holeiwnski. “Sometimes I just have to laugh out loud at how idiotic some things in our society have become. We can’t squirt each other with water guns because it is a ‘simulated’ gun. I can’t believe BSA is so worried about the PC police that it has a policy like this,” added commenter Gary USMC. “Yes, let’s carry every policy to the absurd extreme. That will certainly help scouts shed that geeky image,” added another commenter. The Boy Scouts of America National Shooting Manual guidelines are to be followed by anyone involved with Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Venturing, Sea Scouting, or shooting sports committees, the document adds.
