Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick

…and I’m not talking about the kid whose conduct triggered this story:
A four-year-old hugged his teachers aide and was put into in-school suspension, according to the father. But La Vega school administrators have a different story.
Damarcus Blackwell’s four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee.
The prinicipal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated “inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment.”
Blackwell says it’s ridiculous that the aide would misread a hug from a four-year-old. Blackwell wrote to administrators demanding that the whole incident be expunged from his son’s academic file because his son is too young to know what it means to act sexually.
David Davis, the executive director of the Advocacy Center in Waco tends to agree with Blackwell. He says assuming the boy has not had sexual encounters, or been inappropriately exposed to pornography, most four-year-olds are sexually innocent.
Blackwell got a response from the La Vega administration. The sexual references on the discipline referral were removed. But the thing that makes Blackwell most upset is they told him “your request for an apology by the aide and removal of all paperwork regarding this incident is denied.” Now the young student’s file will refer to the incident as “inappropriate physical contact.” And Blackwell says he will continue to fight the district.
Although there is a very, very remote possibility that this child was exhibiting bizarre behavior, the most likely explanation for his conduct is that four year olds are still very, very little people. They like to cuddle and they like a soft mommy-style bosom. When you hear hoofbeats outside your window, if you’re looking for a zebra and not a horse, you’ve got some troubles of your own.

The kid was behaving normally. Might want to get the aide checked.
Correct, JJ.
When I hear “hoofbeats outside my window,” I’m throwing back the sash and looking for Santa.
And people who don’t like hugs shouldn’t be teaching four-year-olds.
More Liberal child abuse.

That is like kicking a puppy because you thought he was going to teat out your throat. Very brave. Must make people feel very tough.
The ADULTS who even brought up all this BS should be prosecuted. Enough of this c*** in our country.
There is one thing for sure - that child is sexualized now. I don’t even want to know what interviews and questions they put to this poor child.
No way that ‘aide’ has children. A 4 yr old does all sorts of things that can be looked at from a sick way if that is your mindset. They can do a lot of things, but to an adult they just cannot have “sexual contact” or “sexually harass.”
That being said, sexualized children have done inappropriate things to other children - that is a totally different subject.
