don't fall for the hype. read the article carefully. the suspension was not based on a single incident, and the school will not discuss the case publicly - because of the kid's privacy. so you're only getting one side of the story scripted by a lawyer.

What does this have to do with MensRights?

this happened at my elementary school in '94. its one of those things. by the by, RIGHTS do not exist for students in public schools. you sign them off at the door. they can do whatever they want, and honestly I'm fine with that. I'm glad all my wishes didn't come true from that age. I'd be a fucking brontosaurus. and those don't exist.

So the boy gets told it's "bad" to do it. Um don't most kids get encouraged to do it more that way? It's naughty so must be fun.

This has nothing to do with men's rights, it's just fucked up.

Did anyone else notice that this is the 3rd time he has done something like this? The parents didn't take effective action so the school did. Do I think it's over board and silly? Yes, but you would be hard pressed to find a school that didn't have a similar policy.

bskott 8:05 AM PST "Seems like suspending this kid was a far worse detriment to his development than the finger was to whichever kid it was pointed at.

If normal little boy behavior is going to be seen as criminal, why don't we just start killing off all the boys? Obviously males are evil and should not live."

That was one of the comments for that article, it made be cringe a little.

A boy acting like a boy? Call the police, send him to alternate school. Face-track this thug towards a life of crime.

There are too many women running our schools, particularly grade schools. Does anybody think for a New York minute a guy would have even blinked an eye at the 6 year old boy who was behaving perfectly naturally?
