Kisser, 6, Suspended as Sexual Harasser

A 6-year-old boy who kissed a girl on the cheek was suspended from a Lexington, N.C., school on the grounds of sexual harassment. Jackie Prevette said the school overreacted to an innocent peck on the cheek by banishing her son, Johnathan, to a separate room. Johnathan said the girl asked him to kiss her and that he was expressing friendship, according to his mother. District spokeswoman Jane Martin said the policy is clear: “A 6-year-old kissing another 6-year-old is inappropriate behavior. Unwelcome is unwelcome at any age.”
