Controversy

Kissing Prank Incident

The school received controversy by various local and international news organizations after an online video went viral of a prank, pulled on various members of the student body. The prank involved parents kissing their blindfolded children, who were not told who they were kissing. Criticism was mainly directed at the method by which certain parents had interacted with their children (one woman seemingly having her son on the floor of the gymnasium while she was kissing him), but also at the orchestration of the event as a whole.[13]
