A Gastonia mother says her son was suspended for calling a teacher "cute.”

Chiquita Lockett said her 9-year-old son, Emanyea, spent the last two days at home.

Lockett said the principal of Brookside Elementary called her Wednesday to say the incident was a form of “sexual harassment.”

Emanyea told Eyewitness News a substitute teacher overheard him tell another student a teacher was cute.

Then he was suspended.

"It's not like he went up to the woman and tried to grab her or touch her in a sexual way," Lockett said. "So why would he be suspended for two days?”

A district spokeswoman said she could not go into detail, but said Emanyea was suspended for "inappropriate behavior" after making "inappropriate statements."

The district's Code of Conduct doesn't list "inappropriate behavior," but says "disruption of school" is punishable by five days of out-of-school suspension.

I knew there was something wrong with the term 'cute'.

Seriously, though, this can't be much worse than that one 13-year-old kid that was arrested for burping in P.E.

Oh wait.

Quoting of already stated statements aside, this really is unbelievable. The kid getting arrested for burping that Fusion? mentioned is much worse, and the groin punching = sexual harassment incident that Rainbow brought up is pretty bad too. But then, that just goes to further show how insane some authority figures can really be.

somebody lock up this kid!

[Traanth]

Quite a menace to society. What does a 9-year-old boy learn from this?

The happenings in the outer world never fail the bewilder me.

[Hi-C]

I had an art teacher when I was in elementary-middle school that ALL the boys thought was a hotty and ALL the girls loved to hug. Guess we should've received suspensions. :V

It says he was making inappropriate statements, which is plural. Either the spokeswoman is blowing it out of proportion, or the kid said more than "cute"..

Maybe he called her cute on more than one occaision, and this was the proverbial last straw?

It's still bullshit nonetheless.
