Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Sexual violence in schools frequently is not reported to law enforcement or school officials; when it is surveyed, it is not disaggregated from incidents of physical violence, so these incidents of sexual violence are often classified as "physical violence." Moreover, data on violence and coercion in teen relationships (sometimes called "teen dating violence" or "intimate partner violence") outside of school is also considered as indicative of the increase in teen sexual violence. This paper posits that over the course of the last few decades, incidents of sexual harassment in K-12 schools have been occurring at younger and younger ages and have become more sexually violent. This article uses ethnographic data and narratives acquired from lawsuits and reports in the media to examine sexual harassment and violence in schools, which is often miscategorized under the popular and more palatable term of "bullying." Whether used innocently or as shorthand, when school officials call these sexual violent events "bullying," the violent and illegal (either under civil law or under criminal law) nature of these incidents is obscured and the school's responsibility and potential liability is deflected.
