Sorry about the dark content of the Page, but felt it needed to be Paged:

Male Rape as Hazing

It did, and thank you for posting it. There is a lot more of this going on than most people realize. In particular, practically every rural high school in Texas, and a good many urban ones, has had its own brutal and degrading “intiation” ritual for freshman boys for decades. Foreign object sodomy is a well-nigh universal feature of this hazing. I’ve been aware of this since the 70s, when I taught high school for a couple of years here, and got involved in helping a high minded sheriff who was trying to stamp out these barbarous practices. He had some success, but the general attitude was to shame whomever had “squealed” and dismiss it with “boys will be boys.”
