Anyone who reads this blog knows I equate political correctness originating with liberal/progressives with Yankeeism.

BOSTON (CBS) – A 7-year-old boy is being investigated by his South Boston elementary school for possible sexual harassment after kicking another boy in the crotch.
The first grader’s mother, Tasha Lynch, says she was shocked by the school’s decision.
“He’s 7 years old. He doesn’t know anything about sexual harassment,” she said.
Lynch’s son, Mark Curran, said the boy that he kicked had been bullying him on the school bus ride home from Tynan Elementary last week.
“He just all of a sudden came up to him, choked him. He wanted to take his gloves, and my son said, ‘I couldn’t breathe, so I kicked him in the testicles,’” said his mother.
Lynch described a phone call she received from the school explaining that the case will be treated like sexual harassment, due to what it considers inappropriate touching.
“‘Your son kicked a little boy in the testicles. We call that sexual harassment,’” Lynch said the school told her.
She said she’s been asked to attend a disciplinary hearing at the school Monday.
A Boston Public Schools spokesperson said officials are investigating, but won’t comment further, since it’s a private matter.
Lynch wants an apology and better supervision on the school bus to prevent such fights among students.
“He couldn’t breathe. He was trying to defend himself,” she said. “I don’t find that sexual harassment. I find that defending himself.”

Progressives, never fear!
A few years in a political re-education camp (you know, an American University) is just the thing that this seven year old needs to come around.
Of all the places that Marxism, collectivism, "social justice" have infiltrated and taken control of, our public schools have become the venue of the most damaging results. Reading of the various instances of political correctness that school children are punished with leaves me with the thought that school administrators must be hired based on their ability to regurgitate Marxist cant.
ReplyDeleteWhen the schools treat self-defense as sexual harassment, but see no problem with teaching nine-year-olds how to put a condom on a banana, it is obvious that something needs to be done to stop it. If there aren't enough parents who see something wrong with all of this, then parents individually need to remove their children from this destructive environment and either home school or find a private or religious school to put their children in.
As an atheist, if I had children I would much rather have them taught in a good Christian school than the public schools that engage in this kind of crap. A good grounding in Christian values would go a long way toward growing a decent human being, as opposed to the disgusting acceptance of aberrant sexuality and revisionist history taught in the state-run public schools.
"We call that sexual harassment". An appropriate response to that statement might look like this, "You call that sexual harassment because you are a mindless drone. There is no legal or dictionary definition of sexual harassment that would fit this case. You define it as such because you have not one free thinking synaps in your federally indoctrinated brain. In short, you are stupid. Consequently, this discussion must be terminated because no cogent discussion can be conducted on this, or any other matter".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sounding board, Mr.Means. I feel better now.
