The world is becoming completely unbalanced

Student, 9 Years Old, Suspended For Sexual Harassment, Calling Teacher 'Cute' (VIDEO)

[zarn02]

I read something on this last night. I could give a long explanation of why I think things like this are happening.

But I'll refrain.

Anyway, I give this thread about two pages before it's shut down.

ii think there was another where a kid punched another in the nuts... he got charged with sexual assault.

course the kid did it cause the other one was choking him but didnt get charged with assault.

Wow, when I was in 8th grade, we did a singing theatre show and I did a barbershop quartet routine -- we had rehearsed it so we'd be singing "hello my baby" to our teacher (who was a super hot 20-something)..  Somehow, when we did the performance, she ended up sitting on my knee for most of the song.  When we had finished, I asked her something idiotic like "would you marry me?"

I should be UNDER the jail.

In high school, we had a substitute teacher fresh out of college, working on her intership... She was SMOKIN' HOT, and all the guys were fighting over each other to sit up front. If any of us could have gotten out tongues back in our mouths long enough to say anything, we would have all been sentenced to death.

I never had any hot teachers... Sounds fun though.  Maybe I'll go find one.

Paging slowpoke...   

On a serious note, this is complete bullshit.  Where will it end?

I'm a preschool teacher.  I have to change diapers.  Am I going to get sued/fired/arrested for checking to see if a kid has a BM in their diaper?  Being the only guy at work, I can't even say, "you look nice today" without fear of someone taking it the wrong way.

It's gotten way out if hand...  Like the vid says, sexual harassment is a very serious charge but it gets tossed around frivolously.

I'm going to get in on this before the lock.  

I fully agree that the world is becoming unbalanced and it scares the hell out of me.  The coarse that society has taken seems to be; make thing that are unacceptable to acceptable.  So I try to relax and remember that God has a plan.

[fastwin]

I was just talking with a friend the other day about how many things that used to be acceptable are now not and how often the reverse is true. Sometimes that's good... sometimes not so good. I know things are always changing and evolving. As they should. You just hope that they change for the better. It hurts a little to see that is not always the case.

Being more toward "old fart" in age rather than the opposite you have more to look back on and compare. More stuff in the shopping cart. My teenage son's mindset goes back to the first Play Station. That's it. Everything I find currently unacceptable and goofy he thinks is fine. He doesn't know any better. And his world will come to an end if he doesn't get an iphone for Christmas. All his friends and their younger siblings have all the cool aps. His aps suck. I feel his pain.

Keep in mind when these kind of stories break we never learn all the facts.  It could be this boy was a little smart ass.  We all had an annoying kid in class.  This could have been the final straw after a long string of annoying comments.  But, I have to say this makes the school look very stupid.  Sexual, or any kind of harassment, in school  is a bad thing.  This was not sexual harassment.

Assuming ALL of that is true, there is no legal definition of "sexual harassment" that I know of that would apply to a young student like that.

The generally accepted definition of "sexual harassment" is "..intimidation, bullying or coercion of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors.  (Paludi, Michele Antoinette; Barickman, (1991). Academic and Workplace Sexual Harassment.)

Someone explain to me how a 9 year old could be bullying a teacher in a sexual way by calling her "cute"..
