What in the world would make the behavior inappropriate, 12 year old boys have been sticking there tongues out at 12 year old girls for hundreds of years.

Pierced tongues and Lewinskies. The 1990s were not good for America...

If sex education classes need to teach about fisting and safe use of S&M whips (careful of sharing blood) and sex toys then they should be teaching heterosexual students appropriate manner of non-offensive flirting.

[Rifleman]

ANY punishment beyond the principal telling him, "Bubba, knock it off." (to quote a fondly remembered figure of my yoot.) is rediculous.Although the kid DID learn an important lesson about the perfidy of educrats.

Sounds like somebody has been watching "Scarface" on cable too many times.

"In other news, GLSEN announced its new education program for Texas public schools. 'We will be focusing on teaching the children--many of whom, whether they know it or not, are definitely Gay and Lesbian--of the use of the tongue as an expression of carnal love.

"'As the tongue is the most common means of pleasure among Gays and Lesbians, we thought we'd begin this essential educational initiative right at the heart of the matter,' the GLSEN spokes-er-person explained.

"The El Paso school district has heartily endorsed the GLSEN initiative, and compulsory training will begin at the Middle School level immediately."

"Caught in the clutches of the socialist state?"

Oh, give it a rest.

The kid can attend a private school, or be homeschooled if the parents desire.

Let's not overstate things.

[Illbay]

I wonder if there have not been other instances with this kid.

My daughter's in sixth grade. Some of the boys in her grade are disgusting. There are no rules anymore, and too many parents just dismiss whatever the kids do.

"Feminism" is part of the problem, but the whole of the problem is a complete breakdown in societal morals.

I don't think he even knows what sexual harassment is.

Neither do I. How could we as the meaning depends on which leftist is speaking at the moment.

Making a public example of a trivial offense is a very effective intimidation tool.

An effective indoctrination tool.

Psychologist Karen Gold said it is not only important that students receive sexual harassment training in the sixth or seventh grade, but that they understand it, as well.

"There's a question mark: Was the lesson properly taught and learned?" Gold asked. "There's also a question here of the punishment fitting the crime."

This article does is good for exposing the indoctrination that takes place in public education. Children should be taught thinking skills. How to use their minds to identify pertinent pieces of information and bring them together into a context where they can then make assessments and judgments and from there create a plan of action. A twelve years old the girl should already have the thinking skills to put across to the boy that with that type of immature behavior most girls will turn you down, and for good reason -- grow up."

Of course, along with having been taught effective thinking skills comes other insights to good quality character development and thus it is improbable that they boy would have acted as he did.

Think about it, "student should be taught sexual harassment training", what sort of moronic PC bile has so defiled the education of children that sexual harassment training would ever enter picture let alone a bureaucrat's mind.

It's not abut the children. It's about the bureaucrats and politicians creating problems where none need exist in the first place. Creating boogieman problems so they can feign compassion and proclaim to make things right as a means to establish their job security.

However, they have built a house of cards based on their own fabricated illusions. There is no problem. Save for the problems that they themselves created, which is their house of cards.

"But at 12, kids have no business going out on dates or anything. They should be studying."

On Friday night and or Saturday night I could usually be found with my girlfriend. Many of us in our group were the same. Friday night is not study time. It is the time that the school-work week is over and time to spend on your own interests. It has always been like that.

He's gonna end up as the cellmate of the kid who got cuffed and arrested for jumping in water puddles. (Freep thread yesterday)

[ZULU]

It doesn't appear that this delinquent just stuck his tongue out in a normal manner of disgust. It appears there was a perverted connotation involved here.

Suspension justified.

[babble-on]

I'll just bet you're right.

[OldEagle]

"It appears there was a perverted connotation involved here."
That's a stretch, but let's suppose you are correct. Do you think the punishment would be the same if a girl had stuck her tongue out at a boy? The perversion is the testosterone ban being enforced by feminized educators.

[A2J]

It's not like the kid was doing this:

I wonder what they would do if he wore a shirt like this one?

[martin gibson]

These liberal NEA Feminazis are CRAZY!

A rat is a dog is a pig is a feminist (with profound apologies to rats, dogs and pigs)...

As we become more and more Bolshevised>>>>

Yep, people tell me I'm crazy when I warn them about the UN and how they more or less have taken over many countries.

I think it's funny when people express fear of the U.N.!

H*ll, they can't even keep two primitive African tribes from fighting!
