4th grader threatened with sexual harassment charges for writing a love note to a classmate

Remember elementary school when you had a crush on a girl? You would act silly around her, or try to look cool, maybe hit her and run lol .

Eventually you would get up the courage to profess your love for her in a note.

Something like

Hi Sharon

I think your really nice and pretty will you please be my girlfriend?

Check yes or no.

Well in Tampa a 9 year old boy did just that and his other classmates found out and started teasing him about wanting to see her naked ,so to put a stop to the mayhem the principal has threatened to file felony sexual harassment charges if he does it again.

A 9 year old has no idea what sexual harassment is. How is he suppose to tell a girl he likes her?

Just ridiculous.

MPA, Fla. - Many of us remember passing a love note to our first crush, but for one Hillsborough fourth grader, a note had school administrators threatening him with sexual harassment charges.

"He's 9," said his mother. "What little kid doesn't write love notes?" his mom says her son passed a very sweet note to his crush.

"How she wears the same uniform and how her eyes sparkled like diamonds," his mother said.

Love will get you in trouble. Better to break the little nippers spirit now and save him the heartache later.

Maybe it's one of those "progressive" districts where kids are taught the opening rounds of sex ed as young as Kindergarten? You never know ...

Someone better create all girl safe spaces so the traumatized, fragile little darlings can heal themselves.

Sounds like this kid got in trouble for being bullied by the classroom. Then the principle joins in and adds insult to injury. If i was the kids parent, i would get a lawyer. Anytime a school starts talking about pressing charges, you should lawyer up. Just in case.

The logical extension is that speaking to a member of the opposite sex is harassment.
It would have to be any kind of speech, because who speaks to a member of the opposite sex without trying to impress them?
For that matter, speaking to a member of the same sex would be homosexual sexual harassment.
And teachers must remain silent, or else they are guilty of harassment of minors.
The only safe course is to shut down all human contact of any kind.

I totally agree, this sounds like the school is punishing the victims of bullying. Sexual harassment is rediculous charge. My God, I had a so -called 'boyfriend' from 1st grade through Fifth grade. At recess, my two best girl friends and I would tackle him down and rain kisses on him! Nothing like sharing 'Cooties'! We all would be in sooo much trouble in school today. I wish I still had all of the little 'love' notes, we had shared.


Edit add: Believe me, the boys were worse! Nothing like getting pinned and having them gleefully fart on you. That was a boy thing. They would have liked it if we farted back, so girls had to give cooties.

The kid should write a love note to a boy. If he is reprimanded for that, he should sue the school district for gay bashing.

So, we know that this 9 year old is displaying "male hetero" tendencies, is he white? Because then you'd have the current SJW trifecta.

Your post makes me feel so old. I remember similar things like that back when I was in elementary school back in the 90s. Back then when we did things like that and a teacher would only say something if it looked like we were playing too rough and tell us to tone it down a bit. We were never charged with sexual harassment for chasing are crushes on the playground or for writing cute notes. Things have really changed over the years.

Dear America,

Have we lost our minds?

Check "yes" or "no".

YES ✅

NO

No kidding!

How did we ever survive not being victims of our feelings being hurt and not having "safe places" to prevent ourselves from listening to bullies?

Cheers America! Children being punished for being children all in the name of social conditioning!

Not to mention? But aren't the school systems teaching them MORE about their sexuality? Yet they are punished for experimenting with it? WTF?

This perv is probably into child porn too.
