Teacher Fired over 'penis piercings'- news.com.au

[LequteMan]

A South African teacher who allegedly took three high school pupils to get penis piercings, has been dismissed, a school official said.

The teacher at Willowridge School in Pretoria left the school and was the subject of a disciplinary committee after he reportedly took three teenagers to get a style of piercing known as the Prince Albert.

Local media reported he also gave the boys male-genitalia-shaped pasta.

The man was found guilty of "certain charges'' by the national labour arbitrator, Stefano Bruni, head of the school governing board said, refusing to give details.

This is crazy....what's the function of a penis piercing ? Someone puhleaseee educate me

Why is this not a criminal case?

 

[Vunderkind]

Perhaps genital mutilation with consent from minors isn't a punishable offence. I find it curious that the guy is being charged with "certain charges'".

Sounds like a paedophile to me

@curator, it sounds like one to me too. I wonder why the word 'paedophile' is obviously being avoided here.

 

[curator]

because he has not been criminally charged. So until then you could use the word 'alleged' child molester.

Obviously, he is being protected.

Which they didn't.

The only thing I see here is a school disciplinary committee. "Certain charges", which have been found against him, have been found by the school governing board.

Don't you think this issue has already gone beyond the school's disciplinary council?
