An elite prep school in New Hampshire is being sued by parents of a student who claims she was sexually harassed while participating in a school activity. This report made rounds online on June 1 saying that the school involves their male students in a sexual conquest.
Fox News reported that St. Paul School in New Hampshire is the one responsible for the said charges after not putting a stop on a school tradition that is sexual in nature. Apparently, school officials of the said institution allow their senior students to get with as many girls in lower batch as they can. Hence, they called this tradition the "Senior Salute."
This is not the first time that the school had this issue, as back on August 19, 2015, CNN reported about the same tradition that this school is known for. It involved a 19-year-old student named Owen Labrie who was accused of raping a 15-year-old student a few days before he graduated. Labrie's way in luring his victim involves Facebook. He would even brag to his friends about his accomplishment whenever a girl falls for his tactic. He was eventually convicted on all the sex assault charges given to him.
Remaining friends even though we'll be rivals

The said tradition was also said to have uplifted the pride of girls since they consider it an honor to be kissed or be involved with a senior male in their school. Parents were not fond of this idea, which is why they are finally taking it to court. One of the lawyers of the parents charging the elite prep school said that institution has encouraged misogyny and has even made the place unsafe for students who are girls.
