The kid is SEVEN YEARS OLD! As for sending a message--get him in for a couple of sessions with a guidance counselor perhaps to see if there's anything to be concerned about. But suspension? Seven years old? For a stick figure drawing?

I still think it's ridiculous but somewhat more understandable. I think the school probably should have informed his mother and let the parents take care of the lesson that needed to be taught but, given the violence in schools lately, I can see why they felt they had to send a message.<BR/><BR/>That said, the sexual harrassment thing is just sad. I hate that hugs have become taboo in this day and age. If it's not teacher's being afraid of being accused of sexual intention, apparently it's now the kids? Unbelievable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
