Officials crack down on “hot-or-not” online rankings of high school girls
SNOQUALMIE (AP) — The Snoqualmie Valley School District is taking a tougher stance this year on Mount Si High School boys who rank girls online in a hot-or-not contest.
It's known as 'May Madness.' It's a bracket system similar to college basketball's March Madness.
KCPQ-TV reports (http://is.gd/aaZvs4 ) that it has been going on for years on a private Facebook page that officials say was created by Mount Si High School boys.
As part of its crackdown, the school district has sent letters to the parents of certain male students who may have been invited to join or are participating in the practice.
The notice tells parents that if their son is continuing to participate after Friday, they could find themselves not participating in athletics, prom or even graduation ceremonies.
