What is the world turning
into? Two schoolgirls have been expelled from a seminary school after they were
caught kissing.
The girls, who are students
of Inanda Seminary, a private girls’ boarding school in Durban, South Africa,
were caught by the matron kissing for about 20 minutes.
The parents of the grade 9 and
8 pupils were immediately called to come and pick their daughters and they have
now missed school for three weeks after they were caught on July 25.
The mother of one of the
teenagers said she was called by the matron on July 25 and told to fetch her child,
who had been expelled.
She said;
“I went the next day to
find her isolated from other [pupils]… When I asked what had happened, I was
told she was caught by the matron kissing the other girl for 20 minutes.
“I took her home and we
came back to the school for the hearing. As a parent, I was not given a chance
to speak. They asked [my daughter] if she pleaded guilty or not. She pleaded
not guilty. She said she had witnesses. I had also asked her and she said they
did not kiss.”
The school said one of the
mothers had appealed against the sanction but “the verdict and sanction were
upheld in the appeal” and “the mother was informed that no further appeal will
be permitted”.
