Serious action must be taken against staff of a Manitoba school whostood by while students were duped into chewing moose droppings , says a U.S. consultant on bullying. "This incident is one of the worst I've seen. If everything I'veseen in the news is correct. I would be disciplining teachers andthinking about transferring the principal," said Stuart Twemlow. "If this is not dealt with in schools and if you want schools tobe better places to learn, a better climate for learning youhave to deal with this. It's the elephant in the room and itdoesn't go away if you don't talk about it." Three staff members have been disciplined for not stepping in tostop the moose-droppings joke played on the students. (infonavigate.com) Twemlow is the founder of Back Off Bully and several otheranti-bullying strategies for U.S. schools, and a consultant for theU.S. federal government and the FBI. The principal, a teacher and a resource officer at Walter WhyteSchool in Grand Marais, Man., have been disciplined for their partin the moose-droppings incident, which occurred during aschool-organized canoe trip on May 25. The disciplinary decision was made by the board of trustees for theLord Selkirk School Division on Tuesday. A superintendent from theLord division, however, wouldn't reveal the nature of the actiontaken against the staff members. Some parents want the principal transferred, but say that has nothappened. Told feces was chocolate During the canoe trip, two Grade 8 teens were given the poop buttold it was chocolate-covered almonds. According to Karen Eyolfson, whose 13-year-old son was one of thestudents who consumed the droppings, it was a parent chaperone thatoffered the so-called almonds from a sandwich baggie. But theprincipal of the school, a resource officer and her son's teacherall watched it happen, Eyolfson said. When her son ran off to wash out his mouth, a 13-year-old femaleclassmate who didn't witness the incident was also tricked by thesame adults into eating the droppings, Eyolfson said. The girl got it stuck in her braces and was humiliated, saidEyolfson. Adult bullying Twemlow described the so-called prank as a sick, sado-masochisticact. "I think the triumphant laughing of adults with the little girlwith stuff hanging out of her teeth and a boy who's washing out hismouth is pretty sick stuff, isn't it?" He called it a classic case of adult bullying, which he said is farmore common than most parents think. "In our work with principals, we often find principals who knowwhich teachers are bullies and don't put certain children who arevulnerable with those teachers," Twemlow said.
