GASTONIA, N.C. — Administrators at a Gaston County elementary school say they suspended a 9-year-old boy because he sexually harassed a teacher.

WSOC-TV reported that a letter shared by the boy's mother says he has a history of using inappropriate language about other students. The woman says it's the first time she'd heard that about her son.

The boy said he called a teacher "cute," but the school says he used the word "fine." Brookside Elementary School says the child's comment amounts to sexual harassment.

The school's letter said the boy had been warned for using racial slurs and other derogatory words to describe other students.

A school district spokeswoman would not comment, but says the district is investigating.

“But more recently I have passed a group of 9 and 10 year old boys in the street on their bicycles. They were saying the most lewd and overtly sexual things about passing women.
When I was that age all we wanted to do was ride the bikes and play baseball.”

Here are some questions to ask anyone who observes something like this. What do you think is responsible for this change? Can you think of any conservative influences that have caused it? Can you think of any liberal influences that might be responsible? I still am amazed when people claim that TV, music and the media have no infuence on kids behavior.

The teacher sexualized an innocent statement.

Why bring sex into it, when the child does not understand the concept? If anyone was sexually inappropriate, it was the teacher and her enablers in the administration.

The teacher sounds like a pervert.
