The latest educational insanity

This was inevitable. A six-year old boy who slapped the bottom of a fellow student who was female has been labeled as an "offensive sexual toucher", and this description will follow him around on his permanent record: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/02/AR2008040203463_pf.html.

Since when did horseplay become harassment? Are we that disconnected from reality?

Yes it is very crazy and I've heard of similar things happening. In Florida, the NAACP thinks it is discrimination to have rules about pants length.
