SERIOUSLY!?!; Boy, 9, suspended from school for sexual harassment after calling teacher 'cute'
In one North Carolina school, a student got more than just detention for having a schoolboy crush.
Nine year old Emanyea Lockett was suspended from school for two days when he told a friend that he thought his teacher was 'cute'.
'I was talking to my friend and I said Miss Taylor was cute,' Emanyea told local WSOC news.
'That's all I said,' Emanyea continued.
A substitute teacher at Brookside Elementary School overheard the remark, told the principal, and then the principal suspended the boy for two days.
Emanyea's mother thinks that his punishment is far more severe than the crime.
'It's not like he went up to the woman and tried to grab her in a sexual way,' mother Chiquita Lockett said.
'Why would he be suspended for two days?' she continued.
Emanyea's mother Chiquita Lockett thinks that the school is over reacting to her son's actions and believes he was given too harsh a punishment
One local broadcast pointed out the irony that the fourth grader was being accused of sexual harassment, even though he does not know what the term means.
A school representative for the district, located just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, said that the details of the suspension were not available.
She did tell local reporters that the incident related to 'inappropriate behavior after making inappropriate statements.
THIS IS SIMPLY STUPID!
You mean to tell me that the FREEDOM OF SPEECH is going to be taken away from OUR CHILDREN as the beginning of US LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY??? WTF?? We have TEACHER becoming pregnant because they have been SLEEPING with the students and UNTIL AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH, they may get a slap on the wrist, and in some cases, STILL TEACH until the allegations have been proven!! How does a 9 year old saying the words "SHE IS CUTE" become inappropriate behavior and warrants SUSPENSION??? If he has said, "Oh, I LIKE HER" would that have made a difference??? MORE FOLKS SHOULD BE OUTRAGED BY THIS ACTION!!! THIS IS PHUCKING RIDICULOUS!!
