I think the real inappropriate behavior is to penalize little boys for being boys.

And its especially inappropriate to be teaching little girls that they hold such power over other children, especially boys, that by simply screaming "harassment" you can ruin someone's life.

That's modern "feminism".

I agree with you, certainly not with Eggman. To threaten a 12 year old kid with suspension for several days as well as possible transfer to another school -- all for sticking out his tongue, whether it was "appropriate" behavior or not -- is nothing short of idiotic.

Kids did a LOT worse to each other in my day and nothing whatsoever happened, and nothing NEEDED to happen. Everyone is such a whining crybaby these days -- years ago you just sucked it up and dealt with whatever came your way.

It was called GROWING UP!

Ah, the ol' boys will be boys defense. You really don't want to know what I feel about what you just wrote. That aside, the article stated *how* the boy wiggled his tongue. That particular wiggling isn't merely the standard stick out your tongue but was sexual in nature as in oral stimulation a la Clinton. As for as the punishment fitting the crime, well a swift kick in the pants and a bar of soap would be suit me but then the school must appease the PC crowd.
