Dad seeks school dismissals over alleged 'sex toy' claim

An irate father is blasting leaders of a Lutheran school in Racine, saying the principal wrongly accused his 12-year-old daughter of selling sex toys in class and that school officials' statements about the incident have humiliated the child.

Milt Habeck is demanding the dismissal of the principal, president of the board of education and two pastors at Trinity Lutheran Church & School, where his three children attend under the Racine Parental Choice voucher program.

He said Principal Pamela Amling pulled his daughter, Frances, from a basketball game on Feb. 9, telling her coach she was being suspended for selling sex toys, and that a press release issued by the Rev. David Gehne on Wednesday misrepresents the events surrounding the incident.

"They humiliated her; they shamed her," Habeck said of the incident. "Imagine a sixth-grade girl being told she was selling sex toys in front of friends and strangers. The whole basketball team ended up wailing and crying," he said.

Even if the school girls were using the toys as dildos - No, I don't think "dillys" was a reference to an ice cream bar - the school staff acted as though the kids were selling tickets to locker room orgies. Yes, the kids should be accountable for disrupting class, but any public humiliation was uncalled for and unnecessary.
