Colo. Boy, 6, Suspended for Kissing Girl on Cheek
Accused of sexual harassment
A 6-year-old boy has been suspended from a Colorado school for kissing a girl on the cheek.
School officials in Canon City are accusing Hunter Yelton of sexual harassment and they want it on his school record.
The boy's mother tells KRDO-TV her son was suspended once before for kissing the girl and had disciplinary problems, but the girl did not object to being kissed. She told the station that the two children like each other.
"They sent me to the office, fair and square. I did something wrong and I feel sorry," Yelton told the station.

I agree with zero tolerance policies. Every public school employee in the nation should be fired over this outrage.
Sexual harassment, are they kidding? A child that age doesn't even know what that is.
Hey! my first tip!
Clearly, castration is the only answer.
