Where should schools draw the line between innocent affection and excessive public displays?
  • Why assume it’s the girl’s fault?

    I find it bizarre that everyone assumes this little girl to be dressing like a hooker. It’s entirely possible, and likely even, that she was wearing a little pink training bra (for modesty sake) and when this little boy caught a glimpse of it under her shirt he broke out in a chorus of ‘I see London, I see France’ in front of the whole class – not all that serious but still worth a trip to the principal’s office. Since it was all reduced to bullying I suspect what happened was along those lines.

    And Brightstar - Sure, if someone’s skirt is riding up or if their fly is down that deserves a friendly heads up. But if you think your co-worker is dressing like a tart (whatever that means to you – because it’s different to everyone) it’s not up to you to correct her.
