In an elementary school in Maehashi City, a song that ridicules people with thinning hair was broadcast via an elementary school’s PA system.
It is understood that a teacher in his 40s with thinning hair was angered by the song, and made 28 pupils prostrate themselves on the classroom floor. The song, which is called ‘Fugue for Baldies in a Minor Key’, came from an internet video site and is by a duo called Brief & Trunks.
On December 30th at 1pm, around one to two minutes of the song were broadcast. Whilst he was with the headmaster, the teacher in charge of the broadcast club heard the song and rushed to the studio. He then stopped the broadcast and told off six members of the broadcast club, making them prostrate themselves on the floor for around a minute. Four days later, twenty-seven more children who were listening to the song were asked to prostrate themselves.
A problem came to light after some of the children’s parents contacted the school. It was pointed out that ‘because the teacher has thinning hair, he flew into a rage’, although the teacher in question has stressed that, ‘I did not become angry because of my personal feelings’.
学内放送に「ハゲの歌」薄毛教師カンカン
前橋市内の小学校で、頭毛が薄いひとをからかう内容の歌を校内放送で流したことに薄毛の四十代男性教諭が怒り、児童二十八人を土下座させていたことが分かった。曲はインターネットの動画サイトで流されていた男性デゥオ「ブリーフとトランクス」の「小フーガハゲ短調」。十二月三日午後一時ごろ、校内放送で約一—二分間流された。放送を聞いた校長と放送委員会顧問の男性教諭が放送室に駆けつけ、放送を中止させたうえ、放送委員会の六年生児童を叱責し、数十秒間土下座させた。翌四日にも曲を聴いて笑った四年生児童二十七人に土下座を求めたという。保護者からの連絡で問題が発覚。教諭が薄毛だったことから、「自分の髪が薄いからカッとなったのでは」などと指摘されたが、教諭は「個人的感情で怒ったわけではない」と話している。
