White Knighting in NZ/NZ media is out of control
There was this story a while ago about Wellington school boys making sexist/bantery comments...

Investigation launched over rape comments made by Wellington College students video


An investigation has been launched after Wellington College students posted comments on Facebook encouraging fellow students to take advantage of girls when they're drunk.

Wellington College is investigating after students made references to rape in posts on a private Facebook page.

​Screengrabs of the lewd posts from Wellington College students relating to women have been circulating since Sunday, raising concerns for those who have seen them.

Several posts written by the boys have been sent anonymously to Stuff. One said simply "f... women", while another said "If you don't take advantage of a drunk girl, you're not a true Wc [Wellington College] boy."

Wellington College headmaster Roger Moses said he was appalled, angry and distressed by the posts, which were brought to his attention on Monday.

The comments did not represent the values the college promoted. "Sometimes stupid things can be said by stupid boys in the context of what they think is a private page."
Wellington College principal Roger Moses said he was appalled by the posts.

Wellington College principal Roger Moses said he was appalled by the posts.

Moses had talked to the boys and their families, and said they were devastated.

He had contacted Wellington Rape Crisis to ask it for advice for how to deal with what had unfolded, and to get its input and advice on ways to get the message out there that what had been said was not OK.

It was not clear if the boys would be punished by the school.

"We need to find out when it took place," Moses said. "There's a question of jurisdiction over stuff that happens in the evening [outside school].

"We have to establish the facts and work out where to take it from here."

Schools could not control everything said on social media, and Wellington College did not have access to the particular Facebook page on which the posts were made.

"I'm very distressed about it. We publicly take a proactive view in terms of relationships."

Moses did not want to make light of what had happened, but said he knew both boys, and believed they were good kids.

"We're deeply upset, as are the families of the boys. I think this is a huge wake-up call for young men who think they can make such comments. You simply can't."

Screengrabs of the posts had made it to Wellington Girls' College students, and student Siobhan Kelly said they made the girls there feel uncomfortable.

She said there had been other screenshots of a similar nature sent around, and they were concerning, even though she thought most boys wouldn't do what they said.

"It is not funny ... that they think it's OK to say that is concerning to people in their vicinity."

Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP general manager Conor Twyford said it was time to get serious about educating young people.

"Cultural norms take a while to change," said Twyford. "We need leadership and better resourcing for a comprehensive approach at all school levels.

"They need positive role models who can teach them what real consent looks like. They weren't born to be rapists and abusers, but they take in what's around them.

"We don't want young women growing up thinking this is what they should expect."

Meanwhile, police received multiple calls on Tuesday that a group of about 30 schoolboys were fighting in Constable St, in the Wellington suburb of Newtown.

Several units attended the melee shortly before 3pm, and a spokeswoman said police "defused a situation between students from Rongotai College, and St Patrick's College".

There were no reports of injuries, and no arrests were made.

Then recently another story about Year 9(I believe 12-13 year old) boys suspended from an Auckland highschool for filming female staff...

Year 9 students suspended from St Patrick's College Silverstream for inappropriate filming of female staff


Year 9 students have been suspended from an Upper Hutt school after being caught inappropriately filming female staff.

St Patrick's College Silverstream rector Gerard Tully confirmed the suspensions, in the same week as Wellington college students were revealed to have posted comments online about "taking advantage" of women.

Tully said four Year 9 students have been suspended after a "most distressing incident of sexual harassment" towards two female staff members, which involved inappropriate filming.

"Our absolute priority is for the safety, support and recovery of our staff members. The students involved have been suspended from school, pending a hearing with the Board of Trustees Discipline Sub-Committee," he said.

Prime Minister Bill English said he was disturbed at the reports, which come out of his old Catholic school.

English said the behaviour was clearly unacceptable and he hoped the boys had learned a lesson.

English said people in their early teens often did things that show bad judgment simply because their judgment was not always good.

But he said the school was making its stance clear, and that was the right thing to do.

This week, Wellington College students were found to have posted comments in a closed Facebook group, saying "f*** women" and "If you don't take advantage of a drunk girl, you're not a true Wc [Wellington College] boy."

Netsafe Outreach director Sean Lyons said as technology use by students continued to be encouraged in schools, there was an increasing need for education on what was appropriate use of said technology.

"There are a lot of high definition cameras floating around in the pockets of students," Lyons said.

Since Netsafe began in 1988, they had seen numerous instances of students using technology to do similar things, he said.

Students would make audio recordings of teachers, or would wind up the teacher then film them getting angry.

"The trick here, I suppose, is to make sure that everybody understands what appropriate behaviour looks like."

This was a job not just for schools, but for parents as well.

"You're talking about young people, male and female, at the beginning of their journey to understand their own sexual identity, their own place among their peers.

"Putting technology in the hands of people at that stage is likely for some to make them behave in a way that's inappropriate.

"If somebody makes sexual gesticulations behind a teacher for the amusement of their classmates, yes, it's still offensive, it's likely to be hurtful if the person sees, it's likely to cause confusion for other kids in the class, but that comes and goes in a moment."

If it was to be filmed, that could be "more distressing" and harmful to the target, but would also provide an opportunity for the perpetrator to be taught a lesson.

^What was those female teachers wearing? Probably some skanky, whoring outfit to attract some junior high football player to fuck her in her asshole inside her car after school once she takes an afternoon shit to clean up her back-way part.
