Planck's Constant

We have become a nation of over-sensitive, politically correct, namby-pamby wimps and whiners.
Oregon Schools have Banned Hugging, An 11 year old girl was suspended for doing cartwheels and handstands during lunch/recess. The school claims they are too 'dangerous'.

When I went to grammar school [1950 - 1959 yes 10 years] kids were allowed to draw boobs or stick figures with penises on the blackboard. It is what children do. Now it will lead to suspensions if not expulsions and psychotherapy sessions.

13 year old boy charged with assault after giving a girl a hickey in school. I never gave a girl a hickey, but assault? This is insane. Kids can't play dodge ball or run in the schoolyards or use scissors in art class. They are growing up in straight-jackets and under so many restrictions that it's not surprising that they go nuts and gun everyone down.

And is there anything more absurd than it being illegal for a female teacher to have sex with a high school student? I know we like parity among the sexes but this is certainly nuts. Let me say here that if I am ever on a jury and this woman is up on charges of cleaning the pipe of some 14 year old, I would not convict. Where were these women when I went to Bayonne High? Is there no God?

Nunneries and monasteries produce wackos and that is what our schools are becoming. Brushing up against someone is NOT sexual harassment. Touching someone on the arm or shoulder is NOT sexual harassment. Winking is NOT sexual harassment. Flirting is NOT sexual harassment. Writing "Mary does it for free 555-1717" on a bathroom wall is NOT sexual harassment. Telling off-color jokes is NOT sexual harassment. Spin the bottle is NOT sexual harassment.

But I bet that 90% of those saying they were sexually harassed meant precisely these harmless activities. Sexual harassment is sticking your finger into someone's private parts against their will and only that.

It is no wonder that tens of millions of us have to go to online dating to meet anyone; everyone else we ever went to school with could not hug us, flirt with us, kiss us, or even express an interest in us.

Let children be children. If we are not careful, I have no doubt that 6 year-olds playing doctor will someday result in a 20 year sentence for all involved.
