Manchester High Students Suspended for Alleged Cyber Bullying

Four Manchester High School students have been suspended and an investigation begun after an alleged incident of sexual cyber bullying, according to a Hartford Courant report.

The boys are suspected of posting what is known as a “thot list” – the names of girls at the school that are deemed to be sexually permissive, the Courant states. Graphic descriptions of the students were also included in the list, which was posted to Twitter and Facebook. 

The incident may fall into the realm of bullying and also Title IX law, which prohibits students from being subjected to sexual discrimination.

The boys were suspended for 10 days; they may later be expelled depending on officials’ recommendation.

Manchester Police are also investigating, the Courant says, to find out if the incident may also be a criminal matter.

According to the report, other students were reportedly appalled by the lists and alerted school officials to their existence.
