Default Aurora Boy, 6, Suspended For Singing ‘I’m Sexy And I Know It’

They're stupid and they DON'T know it...

Aurora Boy, 6, Suspended For Singing ‘I’m Sexy And I Know It’

Quote:
A 6-year-old boy was suspended from his suburban Denver school for three days after school officials said he told a girl “I’m sexy and I know it,” a line from a popular song.

D’Avonte Meadows, a first-grader at Sable Elementary School in Aurora, is accused of sexual harassment and disrupting other students, according to a letter the school district sent to his mother after he was sent home Wednesday.

School officials issued a statement saying they couldn’t discuss the case, but they pointed out a school board policy that defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advance. There is no age limit.

The Aurora Police Department said it was not involved in the case because laws only cover children ages 10 and older.

D’Avonte’s mother, Stephanie Meadows, said her son doesn’t know the meaning of sexual harassment and it’s the second time he has gotten in trouble for quoting “Sexy and I Know It.” The song by the duo LMFAO was at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for two weeks in January.

Aurora Public Schools issued a statement Thursday saying it is trying to provide an equal learning environment for all students.

“We have policies and protocol in place to prevent any disruption to the learning environment. Due to privacy laws, we are unable to discuss appropriate disciplinary consequences about a specific student,” wrote spokeswoman Paula Hans.
I'd suspend him for a month based solely on his lack of appreciating real music and talent...

It's a fluke. That's why it's news.

That line is mild, considering some of the lyrics to todays 'popular' music.

Some involve the F-bomb, graphic sex statements, murder, beatings, rape, and assorted other attrocious statements that are easy for a 6 year old to pick up.

This is ridiculous. Exactly whom was he 'harassing' with the statement?

When I was a teen we had Country Joe Macdonald who used the F word and I also remember "God Damn the Pusherman" Steppenwolf was a badass band

But did you get suspended from school for sexual harassment for repeating some of the lyrics?

We used to go around singing 'Don't bogart that joint, mah friend, pass it over to me...' but we didn't get suspended or expelled, just glared at

Again, It's a fluke and that why it's news. It's not like it's an ongoing issue.

It IS an on-going issue in schools. If you actually take the time to look deeper than this one story and examine the continuous flow of stories of kids being suspended for the most minor infractions, you start to realize there are some broken policies in schools today. The biggest reason we have stories like this coming out continually is the advent of "Zero Tolerance" attached to everything under the sun. Zero Tolerance has become code for "the administration doesn't have to take responsibility for using their judgment when it comes to the kids". They can just expel them for anything that triggers one of their buzz words. Zero tolerance for weapons in school...expel the honor student who left his swiss army knife in his car by mistake. Zero Tolerance policy for drugs? Now the school nurse doesn't even have aspirin in her office. Zero Tolerance policy on sexual harassment? Now we can expel the FIRST GRADER for SINGING A FRIGGIN SONG about being "sexy".

Bunch of dumbasses have completely negated the need to have any common sense. And that's the on-going issue. This is no fluke...this is a pattern in our school system.

I doubt it. There are millions of kids in school and you couldn't find 100 cases of this nonsense. There has always been teachers opr school administrators who go too far. it's happened all my life. It's not a new phenomena. Look at the movie FOOTLOOSE. That is what it's based on. It happened before, it happens now and it will happen tomorrow. Nothing new.

OK, I don't mind if you leave your head buried in the sand.
