I’d like to congratulate our public school system for purposely destroying another child’s life.

From the Herald-Mail Online via the Drudge Report:

HAGERSTOWN – A kindergarten student was accused earlier this month of sexually harassing a classmate at Lincolnshire Elementary School, an accusation that will remain on his record until he moves to middle school.
…
According to a school document provided by the boy’s father, the 5-year-old pinched a girl’s buttocks on Dec. 8 in a hallway at the school south of Hagerstown.

Charles Vallance, the boy’s father, said he was unable to explain to his son what he had done.

“He knows nothing about sex,” Vallance said. “There’s no way to explain what he’s been written up for. He knows it as playing around. He doesn’t know it as anything sexual at all.”
…
Lincolnshire Principal Darlene Teach and [Washington County Public Schools spokeswoman Carol] Mowen said they were unable to discuss he incident involving the Lincolnshire student.

Teach said any student, regardless of grade level, can be cited for sexual harassment.

“Anytime a student touches another student inappropriately, it could be sexual harassment,” Teach said.

School administrators at a Texas school in November suspended a 4-year-old student for inappropriately touching a teacher’s aide after the prekindergarten student hugged the woman.
…
During the 2005-06 school year, 28 kindergarten students in Maryland were suspended for sex offenses, including sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual activity, according to state data. Fifteen of those suspensions were for sexual harassment.

During the 2005-06 school year, one Washington County prekindergarten student was suspended from school, and 12 of the county’s kindergartners were suspended for various offenses, according to state data.

It sounds like these misguided women attended Women’s Studies Indoctrination Courses in college. I really hate to call these women feminists since it does a disservice to women who really care about women’s issues. To me, a feminist should not be a man-hating, politically-correct bully. Are we so consumed with political-correctness that we are willing to ostracize a 5 year old boy to further an agenda?

Why don’t we just force this kid to register as a sex offender while we’re at it? Good grief!

What happened to the good old days when the principal would call the parents in for a conference and the parents would just make sure it didn’t happen again?
