Kindergarteners can't give hugs, but lingerie on high school girls is a-ok

At least according to these two stories:

4 -year-old Accused of Improperly Touching Teacher

A four-year-old hugged his teachers aide and was put into in-school suspension, according to the father. But La Vega school administrators have a different story.

Damarcus Blackwell's four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee.

The prinicipal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment."

Uh, yeah. Whatever. After complaints by the father, the sexual references have been removed from the child's file, but the school refuses both to remove the incident entirely and to issue an apology. For crying out loud!

It. Was. A. Hug!!!

From a 4-year-old!!!

What kind of a sick-minded person gets a hug from a 4-year-old and immediately thinks, "That's sexual harassment!" Oh, they need not be sick-minded in the sexually perverse sense (though one has to wonder). They only have to be sick-minded in the sense of being a knee-jerk hyper-reactionary liberal. Sheesh!

Meanwhile...

'Cabaret' production puts high school girls in lingerie

A production of "Cabaret" in a California city that features high schoolers as cast members is drawing a horrified reaction from public interest organizations and local officials because of the revealing costumes and the teens' sexually provocative poses.

Titus Gee, a reporter for the Valley Press in Lancaster, first reported on the situation, noting that the high school performers will be "attired in bras, teddies, foundation garments, garter belts and little else."

Is it any wonder why kids are so confused? We spend so much time and effort trying to de-sexualize them in their early years (to the point of banning hugs), but then turn around and tell them that promiscuity and dressing like sluts is perfectly fine.

Again, sheesh!
