Kids Gone Wild!

According to a post on Emil Steiner's OFF/beat blog, a 2nd grader was suspended for this drawing. Personally, I think it shows a lot of talent for that age...Don't all little boys draw pictures of guns and cars and helicopters?

Or how about the recent the Washington Post article about the in-school suspension of a FOUR YEAR OLD for SEXUAL HARRASSMENT! The child had hugged a teacher's aide while getting on the bus and she later complained to administrators at La Vega Primary School that he had put his face in her chest. Um, sweetie--four year olds are not sexually aroused by hugging. They are not looking for sexual gratification, just a little affection. Now if he'd been FOURTEEN, that would be another story...

Seriously, I think some people need to take a chill pill here!
