From the NY Daily News, and reported all over the place:
During the pep rally, several captains of the school’s sport teams were lined up against a wall in the gymnasium, wearing blindfolds.
They were told they would be kissed by a “special someone,” ABC News reported, not knowing that person would be their parent.
The video shows one woman, presumed to be the mother of the blindfolded boy with whom she’s locking lips, grabbing her son’s hand and placing it in the back pocket of her jeans.
Another student, after an unknowing makeout session with his mother, was asked if he knew who his kissing partner was. All he knew, he said, is that she had “luscious lips.”
While flooded without outside complaints, Wollersheim told the Associated Press that he had received no objections from the school’s athletes or parents.
In fact, he’s gotten some positive feedback, he said.
“I think people need to have more of a sense of humor! Kudos to you for all that you do – as I do not feel as a parent there was anything offensive about the video,” wrote one person in an email, which Wollersheim shared with the news service.
Still, Wollersheim understands the gravity of the concern sparked by the video.
“As principal, I’m responsible for everything that happens in this school,” he said. “This event offended people, and pep fests should have nothing that offends people.”
