Principal's naked mischief<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): An elementary school principal in the remote
\nBengkalis island, Riau, amused himself by ordering \"nasty
\nstudents\" to run around a soccer field stark naked.<\/p>\n
The unusual punishment has angered the students' parents who
\ndemanded last week that the education ministry sack or remove him
\nfor humiliating their children.<\/p>\n
Antara reported yesterday that the incident happened late last
\nmonth when the principal of state-run SD 019 Lubuk Gaung made six
\npupils strip off and run around the school's field for coming
\nlate and making noises during classes.<\/p>\n
Only four of them complied with the headmaster's order. They
\nran naked to the amusement of headmaster, teachers and students
\nwho were out to jeer and boo the \"naughty boys\".<\/p>\n
The two pupils who refused to strip off had their ears pulled
\nand squeezed, the report said.<\/p>\n
Bengkalis education and culture office chief Hanafiah said 84
\nparents, who considered the punishment \"cruel and uneducative\"
\ncame to his office and filed a complaint.<\/p>\n
\"I deeply regret the principal's act and am thinking of
\nappropriate punitive action that may be taken against him,\" he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The parents told Hanafiah that the six students were so
\nembarrassed they refused to return to school. (pan)<\/p>",
