Hazing leads to punishments at California high school

November 6, 2014 By Hank Nuwer 1 Comment

The Modesto Bee says that severe hazing at Hughson High involved the football team.

 

Excerpt

Stanislaus County sheriff’s Lt. Keith Rakoncza confirmed that his department is investigating an incident “at the high school involving students.”

“We are not releasing any information on the case at this time,” Rakoncza said in an email.

It is unclear when the incident occurred or how many students were involved. However, Huskies head coach George Harp has been placed on administrative leave, according to sources.

Harp would not confirm that Tuesday afternoon but said he was not on the sideline Friday when Hughson played Riverbank.

“I would rather not comment on anything at this time,” said Harp, a physical education teacher at Emilie J. Ross Middle School in Hughson and a graduate of Hughson High.

    While I respect what the intent of this website is, and the good message it is intending to put out. Your wording is dangerous and misleading. I read this article and and at no point does it say “Severe hazing” or that it involved the foot ball team, as your header “The Modesto Bee says that severe hazing at Hughson High involved the football team” Implies. If you re-read it it says a suspected hazing incident and that members of the football team were suspended. members could be two people but it certainly doesnt mean it could be all 20+ players.
    Missinformation only creates heightened panic and possibly false accusations. Please be more carful in the future and thankyou
