(WBZ) BOSTON Between 70 to 100 of the state’s youngest school children are suspended each year for sexually harassing their classmates, state education records from 2003 to 2006 show.
The disciplinary tactics are prompting concerns from parents, educators and academics about the appropriateness of charging young children with sexual harassment.
“They cannot understand what it means. They’re too young. They’re just babies,” said Linda Burke, whose grandson attends the Downey Elementary School in Brockton.
Brockton is among the most aggressive school districts in the state when it comes to disciplining its youngest students for sexual harassment.
An I-Team review of incidents in recent school years indicate students are being punished for using foul language, fondling or exposing themselves on the bus, pinching other kids or requesting to touch their private parts.
Districts with the highest rate of discipline of first through fourth graders also include Springfield, Fall River, Wareham and Lawrence, state records show.
DISPROPORTIONATE PUNISHMENT SUCKS!
These public school officials are terrorists that try to robotize Americans with terror techniques to comply with their goodie-goodie views.
We really have got to start disciplining public officials that use excessive force, inflict disproportionate punishment, make mountains out of mole hills and other wise over-react and cause good people trouble.
Fire them all!
