I am continuously amazed at the growing number of "hazing" incidents reported in the news involving high school and college students. Where did young people learn that it is acceptable to beat the crap out of a fellow student?

The latest case comes from something called "Freshman Beat Down Day" in Sandwich, Mass. A high school freshman suffered a ruptured spleen, and nine high school football players have been charged with assault and battery and hazing.
