Colorado School Suspends 6-Year-Old For Sexual Harassment

Stories like this are what the term, 'face-palm' was invented for. A school in Cañon City, Colorado has suspended a 6-year-old boy for kissing a little girl on the hand and cheek and the actions have been classified as sexual harassment!

According to KDVR, Lincoln School of Science and Technology suspended the first grader for two days for two separate kissing incidents. One on the hand and one on the cheek of a girl that the boy's mom says he shares a mutual 'crush' with. Shes, understandably, not happy with what is happening to her son.

She (the girl) was fine with the kiss,...The other children saw them kiss and went to the music teacher. The principal then calls it ‘sexual harassment.’

The school has made no comment other than that, "The boy actions fit the school policy description of 'sexual harassment.'"

You can read more about the story and about what some child psychologists are saying about the debacle from KDVR.

Is this the world we've come to live in?! A six-year-old can't even kiss the girl he likes on the hand without tossing out the 'sexual harassment' label? By the sounds of it this was even a mutually-okay pair of kisses by the 6-year-olds, how can that harassment?

I can understand telling the kid that it may be inappropriate to kiss during class, but calling him a sex offender, that's just ridiculous.

What do you think, is the school in the right, or is this a case a common sense being tossed out the window?

***UPDATE***

No Surprise here, CNN reports that the school in question has now changed the boy's  disciplinary offense from "sexual harassment" to "misconduct."
