Apparantly this was the second time this child was suspended for kissing. According to the School Principle (lemme play David Morton while he's flying to Rio - "principal"!), who was limited in speaking about this case....we never suspend a child for one small incedent.
Its interesting that the mother who was so suprised that out of the blue this would happen to her son, also said:
"The family has been working with him on "class disruptions" by grounding him and giving him "big restrictions".
Why am I not surprised you view this whole NON INCIDENT the way you do, Jim?
You fit right in with the kid's whole "p.c.", 'follow-the-liberal-drumbeat' school admin...and that of like-minded "educators" all across the country.
In short - you're clearly part of the 'idiocy-in-education' problem. You're an 'enabler'. Seriously.
When I was in grade school (1950s) this "incident" would have been considered nothing more than a harmless, c-u-t-e jesture on the kid's part (by normal people). Good lord, man...
