Students protest teachers' insult<\/p>\n
MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: At least 80 students of a high
\nschool in Praya, Central Lombok, and their parents staged a
\ndemonstration at the provincial education office over the
\nexpulsion of a female student that the teachers accused of being
\na prostitute.<\/p>\n
The protesters, wearing traditional costumes, carried placards
\nand banners reading, \"Jilted teacher tarnishes student\" and
\n\"Teachers should teach, not seduce.\"<\/p>\n
Teachers accused Sri Mandalika, 17, of engaging in immoral
\nconduct with her boyfriend, Muhammad Fahmi, in school.<\/p>\n
One of the teachers, Yudi Suhadiyanto, reportedly saw the two
\ntalking in school, but told the other teachers and students that
\nSri and all female students in her class were prostitutes.<\/p>\n
Principal Suseno expelled Sri for tarnishing the school's
\nreputation.<\/p>\n
Sri and her friends accused Yudi of spreading rumors in anger
\nbecause his close friend, math teacher Ismanto, had written a
\nlove note to Sri which was rejected.<\/p>\n
The students and the parents demanded that Yudi be dismissed.<\/p>\n
Head of the provincial education office Suhardi promised he
\nwould take care of the matter, and called on the students to
\nreturn to school. (swe)<\/p>",
