I believe those communists would suspend you for longer than one day for that!

Given the direction this country is headed, I'm sure if he had innocently kissed the hand of a boy they would have made a hero out of him.

 

[BERTMAN77MK2]

WTF is the USA coming to??

 

[victorz]

I wonder why school has the right/power to put sexual harassment on the boy without judge or jury.

Colorado seems to be turning into another California, next thing you know they will have a Boys bathroom, a Girls bathroom and one

For it to be 'harassment' doesn't someone need to feel 'harassed'? Just another reason to avoid public schools.

Maggot, I understand your point and can sympathize with it; but, you have to admit that one of the large reasons we are in the place that we are is we have allowed the progressive/liberal types to take over the educating of our children without a fight. This one event is just one of hundreds across America that go unreported. As a tax payer it galls me that we have to pay for our kids to be "brainwashed" by these people as America loses its core direction. The Progressives/Socialists have done well in taking over the school system and it pumps out new generations of less than intelligent kids on an annual basis.

though your reply is valid, and correct, Im not sure you understand my point as your reply doesn't address what I said.

"Where is the harassment?"

"Avoid public schools."

I don't have children but if I did I would NEVER even think of sending them to a public school/indoctrination camp.

what, you want me to stay on topic...how dare you I have three kids but they are all grown now...one went to public school for several years but we pulled her after stupid events like this one and others so she was home schooled for the rest of the time while the two others were home schooled up to 8th grade and then went to a Christian school until they graduated. As far as your point of harassment, we know that this is not harassment as it would have to be unwanted and more than once. The school just uses it to get get attention of the parents as if their son is going to be a rapist if they don't control him. If kissing a girls hand in school got you a suspension then what I did in school and on the bus would gotten me booted from school - forever!

My point is that is it easy to stay away from school and home school or go private but I still get taxed for it whether I use the system or not. And, that galls me!

When you have a system that a 10 year old can go to the school-nurse in a public school and ask for birth control pills and the school not only supplies but do not consult the parents, at the same time a 6 years old kiss a girl hand and get suspended...you know the system is completely fucked up.
What scares me most that nobody does anything and it is getting worst and worst each year.

 

[Bobo3020]

Legal to smoke pot, but don't kiss a girl on the hand!

That's better!!

"If kissing a girls hand in school got you a suspension then what I did in school and on the bus would gotten me booted from school - forever! "

I would have ended up in jail, by today's standards.

Did you move from the 'Ville'?

 

[pizzamanny]

Government schools. Not public schools

Looks like they dropped it.




A Colorado school that had been widely criticized for suspending a 6-year-old boy for kissing a girl on the hand has dropped its sexual harassment claim against the first grader, and allowed him to return to school.











The superintendent of Canon City Schools decided to drop the sexual harassment claim Wednesday after meeting with the parents of Hunter Yelton, KRDO reports. The Dec. 4 incident is now being classified as misconduct.

Yelton's mother, Jennifer Saunders, said her son had an "innocent crush" on the girl and kissed her on the hand during a reading group.

But the mother of the girl, Jade Masters-Ownbey, said that Hunter had tried to kiss her daughter "over and over" without her permission, and that she supported the suspension.

"Not once, but over and over," Masters-Ownbey wrote on Facebook. "Not with her permission but sneaking up on her."

"I've had to coach her about what to do when you don't want someone touching you," she told the Canon City Daily Record. "But they won't stop."

Hunter already had received an in-school suspension for kissing the same girl.


Saunders said she understood the most recent suspension, but that the sexual harassment label was unwarranted.

"This is taking it to an extreme that doesn't need to be met with a 6-year-old," Saunders told KRDO. "Now my son's asking questions, 'What is sex, mommy?'"

The school district initially defended the sexual harassment charge, saying it expressly prohibits "unwelcome touching, such as patting, pinching or repeated brushing against another's body."

"Our main interest in this is having the behavior stop," Canon City Schools Superintendent Robin Gooldy told HLN Tuesday. "Because the story is not just about the student that was disciplined, it is also about the student receiving the unwanted advances."

"Our job as a school is to basically maintain a safe learning environment for all children in the school," Tammy DeWolfe, the school principal, told the local paper. "And that's certainly what we're trying to do here."

Gooldy added that it was "strictly a school discipline issue," law enforcement was not involved and that no criminal charges had been filed.
