CANON CITY, Colo. -
A six year old boy is suspended from school in Canon City for kissing a classmate on the cheek
His mother says it's a crush and the two children like each other. But the school is calling it something else; sexual harassment.
First grader, Hunter Yelton, told us he loves science and phys-ed. Also...that he has a crush on a girl at school, who likes him back.
It may sound innocent enough...but at six years old Hunter now has 'sexual harassment' on his school record.
I am really tired of reading stories like these. Makes me want to ring their necks.

It's dumb but again it's not going to make much of a difference in the long-term. Either way the mother could probably file a slander lawsuit if she was willing to shell out the cash. Since it's not a police record and it was consensual puppy love, she'd probably win.
Either way I guess I'm just used to the idea of schools doing this kind of #. Then again I'm gay so this almost always happens for any same-sex anything, at least it used to. I was home-schooled so my experiences with these sort of things was earshot stories from friends who did actually go to PS.

If its not being done already, sexual preference will be on school records.

This wouldn't surprise me either, but why the hell would the schools need that info? I think this would be fought against pretty hard.. Then again, I guess things like this story aren't being fought against hard enough, wow.
Both hunter and his mom, Jennifer, admit he's had some trouble at school in the past. Hunter has been suspended for rough-housing, and for kissing the same girl on the cheek.
They're hoping the suspension changes hunter's behavior.
