SAN DIEGO — A female assistant principal was demoted for lifting girls' skirts to make sure they weren't wearing thongs to a high school dance.


Rita Wilson's thong check April 26 in front of male students and adults had enraged parents, one of whom threatened to sue.

The Rancho Bernardo High School administrator, who has tenure, will be reassigned to a teaching position, the school board decided Monday.

"I'm very disappointed and deeply saddened," Wilson, 47, said as she wiped away tears and hugged supporters.

An investigation by the school district concluded Wilson "went far beyond the grounds of propriety" with the underwear inspection.

Students said Wilson lifted girls' skirts before they entered the dance, and told those wearing thongs to go home and change.

Wilson said she was concerned the combination of revealing clothing and suggestive dancing could lead to sexual assaults.

Let me see if I got this straight: she wanted to prevent sexual assault, so she did what amounts almost to sexual assault to make sure they were not wearing thongs that would provoke sexual assault. Is that pretty much it?

That's it
If she were a male student it would be considered sexual assault around here.

Furthermore, if she had been a male administrator, she probably would have lost her job and be in the poky by now.

Sexual assault is sexual assault. Doesn't matter which sex is propagating it on which sex. What she did was no better or no worse than the priests feeling up the altar boys. She should be fired and prosecuted, period!

I think we are unable to fairly assess the situation given that none of us were there, and did not see what actually happened.

Purely for the sake of an informed opinion . . .I would like to see the video tape.

She should have waited till the girls started dancing and showed their own butts then sent them home? In this case being proactive got her "canned". That reminds me I got up late this morning so I got dressed in light year time. I pulled my shorts on over the boxers I slept in ...the shorts are nylon beige color..half way through the day on of the girls at work said Ok Tanya the smily faces on the underware ..what gives and I said Wha?

I have a teenage daughter, if anyone did a thong check on her it wouldn't be a thong she/he would be pullin' out of his /her butt it would be my big ole muddy boot! I do my own sort of check on my kid BEFORE she leaves the house (America or not!).

Again, if I had been one of those chicas w/ tiny panties, I would have punched her right in her stupid face. I think this is one fo the strangest things I have ever heard of a school adminstrator doing. It sicks me out.

Switch-a-roo...
News to Wolfsister...some of the kids change their clothes in the washroom after they've arrived in school. They dress like cr@p. Then they change back to decent clothes before heading home. The parents are none the wisher. Hope it's not happening with your kid(s).

This is just the sort of behavior that should be
abolished. take the b!tch out back and lift her skirt up over her head and give her a big wedgie. But first I'd check to see if she was wearing a thong...I imagine a thong wedgie would really hurt.

LOL at chief...that's what I always say...hahaha

Excuse me for joining this party late, but didn't this happen in NJ last year, as well? I seem to remember reading in the paper about all these traumatized girls, and wondering what the h&ll the school administrator was thinking, doing something like that in this land of lawyers. That person was suspended from her job as well. I guess the San Diego lady doesn't read the papers.

We've had some bizarre some happening in our middle school, no less, with students allegedly engaging in sexual acts on the premises. There has been a lot of talk about why these are not better supervised, etc. Some of the parents counter that it is a lack of parenting, not a need for more school supervising, that is the root of the problem. Probably the same should hold for dress code issues at the prom.

Personally
I think that condoms should be handed out as each student enters the prom premises. This way, the school is being proactive on stemming AIDS and pregnancy. This would be a bold step on the schools part, but since children are having children, and parenting skills are not always present in the home, schools should attempt to put a stop on this epedemic.

Every day, I see young, brain dead GIRLS, carrying babies who are filthy and poorly cared for. Yesterday, I even saw one of these brain dead girls drive past my house, behind the wheel of her car with the baby in her arms, WITH THE BABIES BACK TO THE CAR STEERING WHEEL! I wish I had gotten her liscence plate #, I would have called the police and reported her for stupidity.

It is now the schools responsibility to teach morals and ethics, cause it just don't happen at home anymore...(in most, but not all, cases.

Fine Stikmon, you write up the protocol for teaching the morals and ethics to school children. Present this manual to the school board and invite the PTA to review and comment on it. I just want to be there to pick up the scattered shreds when they finish with you.

I guess I interpreted Stanlee's post differently. It seems to me that he doesn't think it's a good thing that the schools are in the possition they are. I think he may have been commenting on the lack of parenting nowadays, and how morality lessons are being left up to the schools.

Sounds like a case of really, really bad judgement on the part of that administrator.

I want to know what morality has to do w/ an issue such as this one? A teenage girl is morally corrupt because she wears thong underwear? What's the dealy-o?

Monkey girls don't wear underwear at all! Does that make them even more morally corrupt?

no, a teenage girl is morally corrupt for shaking her bare arse at a school dance. Teenage boys are morally corrupt for not being able to (or having the desire to), control themselves and harrassing or assaulting said arse shakers. No one has taught the girls not to tease or have the least amount of modesty and no has taught the boys that no is NO and just because you see it doesn't mean you can touch it.
Sassafras

I would agree w/ that Sass. But the thong wearing itself is not the problem. The admin. could have just observed the crowd and pulled the bare arse shakers off the floor and pushed them out the door. Wearing the thong does not mean you are going to be a bare arse shaker.

I think the problem of skirt and thong combos and exposure probably had happened in the past. There might have been an assault. Maybe the principal was trying to prevent another. I don't agree with her method at all, however.
