A kiss is just a kiss unless you are a six-year-old in first grade in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If a six year old boy is caught kissing a six-year old girl then being suspended from school can be the least of the child and his parents’ worries.
This is exactly what happened to six year old Hunter Yelton, who according to Fox News was given a two-day suspension from his Lincoln School of Science and Technology for placing a kiss on a young girl’s hand and another on her cheek. One of the very real concerns that his parents have to be truly worried about is if this will be filed in his permanent school record as a sexual harassment punishment.
The political correctness police have to be frothing at the mouth on this one, because the innocence of childhood has somehow been buried and replaced with school officials who have to monitor every single little display of affection by a child despite the innocence of the act. So just where is the line between childhood innocence and a negative reactionary permanent record?
A child clinical psychologist at UCCS told KRDO-TV News channel 13 that the behavior of six year olds kissing a little girl on the cheek, “would be normal behavior.” Sandy Wurtele who is an expert on childhood sexual development as well as the prevention of childhood sexual abuse was surprised that the school actually suspended Hunter.
What is happening to children in Hunter’s case and others across the nation is troubling because on one hand you have Hollywood movies and cartoon characters that display all sorts of mixed messages about what was once inappropriate behavior but not considered normal. Movies and television shows which embrace gay parenting and gay relationships as acceptable are becoming the norm. Even school curriculum subjects are adopting gay parenting in their curriculum not as an option but as a mandatory requirement.
