Anything to keep the young skulls full of mush from following their biological instincts.

suspended for giving a classmate unwanted kisses says the school did the right thing.

If the classmate had been another little boy, there would have been more understanding for the "protected" behavior.

No criminal charges have been brought against the boy.

I HOPE whoever wrote that was being sarcastic.

Six years old and slapped as a sexual harraser? Puhlease—the kid is years away from puberty. I think its rather a dirty mind perceives dirty things on the part of the kids accusers.

I know I am generalizing, probably unfairly, but a hyphenated name always rings the "rabid liberal alert" bell for me. I'll wager the suspension was instituted by the prompting of the mother or by the school board's past association/fear of her.

I had the same reaction...hyphenated last name..? That explains everything.

Maybe she is jealous of her little daughter. It really seems unlikely that any boy ever wanted to kiss mom’s hand when she was a little six-year-old troll.

Maybe so. Maybe mom didn't get the love she needed from either parent.

I remember my dad's love for us. He called my older sister "reina," which means "queen" in Spanish and called me "princesa," which means "princess." He called my mother "honey," in English, always and ever.
A girl HAS to have dad's love. That's how she learns to relate to men and how women and men deal together.

The girl's mother, Jade Masters-Ownbey ... I know I am generalizing, probably unfairly, but a hyphenated name always rings the "rabid liberal alert" bell for me. I'll wager the suspension was instituted by the prompting of the mother or by the school board's past association/fear of her.

You're probably correct.

There might also be another couple of clues to be found in the mother's picture and in her first name.

From the article:

“But Masters-Ownbey says the kissing was ‘not once, but over and over.’ School officials insist the boy was repeatedly warned and that the punishment was warranted.”

The boy did merit punishment, as, apparently, he forced his affections on the girl on multiple occasions, and had been warned multiple times to cut it the heck out.

However, I think the real crime wasn’t sexual harassment, but rather, just plain old harassment. He saw that kissing the girl got the reaction he desired, and repeated it.

The boy’s behavior marks him down as a little snot, not necessarily a sexual harasser.

Well, she did just save a few bucks by insuring she’ll never have to buy a prom dress for her daughter

I didn’t notice any mention of the father of the boy in this story, but perhaps I missed something.

It’s really weird that the left does everything it can to protect criminals from being labeled as criminals but love turning first graders into criminals and labeling them as such.

Only if they are melanin-deficient.

Getting plowed screaming with her legs in the air by whichever daddy-candidate was OK, but a first grader’s kiss is a sex crime.

Somebody tell the slut she’s “transferring”.

This is a little off the cuff but there is a poem line from the book Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley comes to mind.
“Orgy, Porgy Ford and fun,
Kiss the girls and make them One, Boys as One and girls at peace, Orgy, Porgy brings release”.... Isn’t that more in-line with progressive elitist public school free love lieberalisms?
So confusing these days, (;

Of course you are correct—but I think a kid like this is still the exception and not the rule.

Isn’t he a precious child??? What a sweetheart. If I was his mother that school would have to find the blue prints to put that school back together. What idiots.
