This story perfectly sums up how ridiculous schools have gotten since we were kids.
A nine-year-old fourth grader in Hillsborough County, Florida was sent to the principal’s office recently, and threatened with sexual harassment charges . . . because he gave a girl in his class a love letter.
He drew a heart on a piece of notebook paper, wrote “I like you” in the middle, and things like, “I like your eyes because they sparkle like diamonds.”
But the girl wasn’t interested — other kids found out about the note — and started teasing the kid.
That’s when the principal got involved, and told the kid he can’t send: “unwanted” love letters. If he does it again, they’ll file sexual harassment charges.
The school has a policy against passing notes because they can cause disruptions, but the kid’s mom still thinks this is a massive overreaction. She says, quote, “My nine-year-old doesn’t even know what sexual harassment means.”
