"What happened to Andrew Mikel is an example of how oppressive zero-tolerance policies have become," said John W. Whitehead, president of the institute. "School officials have developed a very dangerous mind-set that allows virtually no freedom for students, while at the same time criminalizing childish behavior."

So even though they are forced to dress more modestly, to become less sexually attractive, rapes and sexual harassment have increased in Muslim countries. The same mechanism of domination and hatred of women are responsible for both the oppressive wearing of the veil and for rape and sexual harassment of Muslim women.

I think I discovered why health care costs have been rising in this country over the past few decades: men have become sicker (and thus require more medical facilities) because we have made it almost impossible to flirt with women. What does flirting have to do with good health, you ask?

It was the spring of 1955, and the shrill squeak of chalk scratching into slate sent shivers through the tiny bodies of the third grade class. Some of the students who had not been paying attention now gazed up and saw me up at the blackboard drawing a stick figure of a naked woman. I was ten years old.

I fear that we are turning our students into unfeeling zombies. They can't hold hands, they can't flirt, they can't kiss, they can't hug. Then they eventually finish school and go into the workplace where they can't meet anyone of the opposite sex for fear of sexual harassment. That so many young men turn eventually into sex abusers is no surprise to me.

Let me tell you who is the sexual pervert in this case: the teacher's aide. Unless the child slipped his face between her naked b**bs and did a motorboat and then slapped her face with his p*nis a few times - it is not sexual harassment. This is a four year old doing what all four year olds like to do: hug and show affection.

When I went to grammar school [1950 - 1959 yes 10 years] kids were allowed to draw boobs or stick figures with penises on the blackboard. It is what children do. Now it will lead to suspensions if not expulsions and psychotherapy sessions.
