A Memphis high school is under press scrutiny after a video entitled "Mitchell High School Memphis … Rape Dat Ho" turned up on YouTube. In the clip, several teenagers simulate rough sex while peers cheer them on. Although the clip was flagged as offensive and then removed from the video sharing site, another soon took its place, this one featuring teens humping the floor a la Peer Pressure, all the while in full view of adults.

Mitchell High School administrators have confirmed that both incidents took place inside the school's gymnasium, but, as you might expect, they are hesitant to take the blame for the act. According to a statement released by Memphis City Schools, it's THE MEDIA that's making these children play rape:

Pop-culture, the Internet and mainstream media greatly influence the activity and behavior of today's youth. We trust that our partners in education — parents, guardians and school families will continue to reinforce to children the appropriate way to conduct themselves before, during and after school hours.

Clearly, "Accepting Responsibility 101" is not part of the Mitchell High School curriculum.
