Common Sense Kicked In The Balls Again

A six year old Colorado boy was suspended for 'sexual harrassment' after he kissed a girl on the hand during reading time in his classroom. Yes kiddies you read that correctly; a six year old.

It seems that this boy is a repeat offender as he kissed the same girl on the cheek once before. As common sense sat in the corner of the principles office clutching its aching balls this child's mother was summoned to a meeting where a sexual harassment suspension was handed down.

According to a story on KRDO News "The boy's mother considers the punishment to be excessive and states that "The girl was fine with it. They are boyfriend and girlfriend." Now my son is asking questions… what is sex mommy? That should not ever be said, sex. Not in a sentence with a six year old."

After a national outcry the crime was changed to misconduct.

Using this principals logic most Disney movies should be considered pornography as many contain kissing in a children's format.

Was the hand kissing inappropriate? Probably. Did it demand a suspension of a six year old? Probably not.

Do these school administrators need a lesson in how to ascertain a case of sexual harassment? Most definitely.

 We have become a society of people who have lost the ability to apply common sense to situations. Common sense is losing out to a one size fits all scheme applied to appease the Gods of political correctness.

Coming on the heels of yesterdays disarming of Rooster Monkburm, the sock monkey, this story further demonstrates why common sense needs to sit with legs crossed to protect its privates.

Wait!! Sitting with crossed legs use to be called 'indian sitting'. Political correctness would not allow that so I guess common sense just has to sit there and let its privates get mauled.
