Student, 9 Years Old, Suspended For Sexual Harassment, Calling Teacher ‘Cute’

After a substitute teacher overheard 9-year-old Emanyea tell another student a teacher was ‘cute,’ school officials put him on two-day suspension for sexual harassment, WSOC TV reported.

The boy’s mother, Chiquita Lockett, told the station she doesn’t agree with the punishment.

“It’s not like he went up to the woman and tried to grab her or touch her in a sexual way,” Lockett told WSOC TV. “So why would he be suspended for two days?”

The school’s code of conduct doesn’t list sexual harassment, but does mention possession of any gun, rifle, pistol, firearm, prohibited substance or assault of a school employee as grounds for long-term suspension.

This is what is wrong with society. A boy who recognizes beauty is punished for it? Look at him. He is so precious.

I wish him great success and over all to always be who he was that day he called that woman “cute”. A man who sees beauty, even when it is masked by fear.
