9 Year Old Suspended for Calling Teacher Cute

GASTONIA, N.C. -- 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.
Seems to me that the power relationship between the teacher and the student is all wrong for this to be harassment. The teacher is clearly in the dominant position in the school. Impertinent  maybe, harassment, no.  It makes you wonder if there isn't something else going on here.
