    A 9 year old boy in North Carolina was suspended for "sexual harrassment" for calling his substitute teacher cute.
    A 6 year old boy from Wisconsin was arrested for a felony and will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life after getting caught "playing doctor".

    Gone too far? What do YOU think?

    Political correctness is only inconvienient for the privaledged few,who've never been in the hated dynamics,the peope who liked living in the 1950's,and settled for less,and/or the small minded people who are unable to see the bigger picture and the potential sociatal advances that can become possible in the event that we not only change the way we speak,but the way we think as well.

    I wouldn't blame this solely on political correctness as loathsome as it is.

    The morals police, typically religious nuts, equate anything that hints at sex as a sin. They lobby schools for no touching policies, to teach abstinence only and so on. That bunch of crazies is as much to blame for this sort of incident as anyone in this.

    In the case from Wisconsin mentioned above, which I posted about several weeks ago an over zealous prosecutor charged this kid then placed a gag order on the kids parents, it seems to generate fifteen minutes of fame to further his career.

    It's all sickening.

    Political correctness has been going too far for decades, yet we all just sit back and watch it happen. We can stop it by simply refusing to follow these stupid rules made up by some consortium of morons and thin-skinned lunatics who think they have a right to never be offended.

    A nine-year-old boy has no idea of sex, much less sexual harassment. All he knows is that his teacher looks nice and he isn't so jaded and toxic like we are, that he innocently told her so.

    In the next ten years, dating and relationships will fall off completely, because it will be against the law to tell someone that you find them attractive.
