say what,9 year old boy suspended for calling teacher cute?

in the are you tripping file of the newspaper a young black boy in Carolina got suspended recently for calling a teacher cute. the teacher heard the boy tell a fellow classmate that he thought the teacher was cute. i was like is this school tripping or just racist and dumb? i thought of Emmitt Till and thinking back how he got lynched for whistling at a white woman as a young teenager. and in this day and age of political correctness some folks trip out way too hard and this ain't even news or worthy of even being known on the real. now if the boy and his classmate had talked about jacking another kid and bullying somebody would the teacher have been as quick to say something? real issues need to be addressed, but this one is in the tacky turkey file. this is called Sexual harrassment in 2011. if he had have winked at her, what then the gas chamber? this is truly a mess and a half.
