STEILACOOM, Wash. The parents of 14-year-old James Watkins agree he deserves school discipline for wearing a penis costume outside a dance at Steilacoom High School.

But they want a "sexual harassment" note about the incident dropped from his school record.

The prank was kind of dumb, to say the least, but that wasn't sexual harrassment unless he was chasing girls around and rubbing up against them.

Sounds like totally bad judgment to me. Were his parents okay with this? Or maybe he was just practicing for sex ed and was going to demonstrate how to put on a condom.

So I take it you don't have a problem with the sex-ed classes showing them how to put condoms on cucumbers either.

Just what I'd want to see... my fourteen year old daughter coming home from a dance with a picture posing with a penis...

These are the types of parents that rent the hotel room out because they don't want them to do it in the backseat of the car. Let's see how they do with those grandkids soon.

There sure are a lot of Democrats that should be arrested for sexual harrassment. They don't even have to wear a disguise to look like one.

Leftys and big government types of all stripes have made it so that kids can be branded for life as a result of doing the normal kind of stupid stuff that all kids do along the way. Pulling some girls hair is "sexual harassment", calling some kid a "fag" is a "hate crime", telling some other kid you're gonna "kick his ass" is a "terroristic threat". I wouldn't have made it to age 12 myself.

It's easy to think that it's just some government "dweebs" getting even for the ass-kicking they got from other kids when they were "junior dweebs", but the more sinister (and more likely) motivation is to criminalize as many people as possible and, thus, increase their own power.

Sure, I know I'm paranoid, but the question is - "Am I paranoid enough?"

Apparently, the principal didn't like being imitated.

You seem to have non-sequitor thinking.

I am not ok with sex-ed, and I am not ok with CRIMINALIZING purile behavior.

Your not being paranoid. Truth is a defense. If you are with an "in" liberal group, you are not a sexual harasser. Example Larry Flint. He is welcome to help in democratic election campaigns.

If you are an important enough politician or lefty you can ignore sexual harassment accusations and be welcomed back into the fold, even if they are proved. Bill Clinton, Mel Reynolds and Jesse Jackson.

Hear from Bob Livingston recently?

That does it! I dont care if It's raining outside. After seeing that picture it's time to push away from the computer and get on with my day.

The left really has a lot to be ashamed of.
