I think someone ought to check the coffee in the school office for illegal substances, because that’s the only possible explanation for insanity like this:
Sal Santana II, a 12-year-old Magoffin Middle School student, said he stuck his tongue out at a girl who declined his invitation to be his girlfriend. School district administrators viewed the incident as sexual harassment, suspended him for three days and are considering placing him in an alternative school.
Words fail me.
The district, naturally, declines to discuss any part of the matter. The boy’s father, though, notes that Sal has not been in any trouble this year, but that what he was told happened was:
“The teacher said he stuck his tongue out and moved it back and forth and waved at her like you were patting someone on the back and that that constitutes sexual harassment,” Salvador Santana said. “She said the girl was upset and scared.”
Yeah. Right.
Y’know, there are times when home schooling looks awfully attractive.
