6-Year Old Boy Accused of Sexual Harassment
Kindergarten student's father fears his son will be stereotyped as a "pervert"

The father says his son brought home a discipline referral that says the child told his teacher that one of his classmates liked looking at her behind.
A six-year old boy is accused of sexually harassing a teacher in Greer. The kindergarten student is now facing possible discipline.
Malory Pinkney, Sr. says his son came home Tuesday in tears from Skyland Elementary. His father is a minister and says his child has been accused of sexual harassment by one of the teachers there.
Pinkney says the boy brought home a discipline referral that says the child told his teacher that one of his classmates liked looking at her behind.
Pinkney doesn't deny the allegation, but says his son is going to be labeled as a result of this situation.
"Here is my son is six years old," says Malory Pinkney, Sr. "Now he's getting ready to have something put on his record that's going to follow him for the rest of his life. So whoever looks at his record, they have already stereotyped him as being some kind of little pervert or something like that. And I have to refuse that."
The Greenville County School District responded with a written statement saying, "anytime you have a media account, you're only going to have one side, one viewpoint. Since we can't give the details, we can assure you the matter was handled appropriately at the school level."
We did give the district a chance to tell their side in detail, but they declined. The district said that since it was a student discipline matter, they could not make any further comment.

I will reserve my judgement untill I see the behind in question.
I gotta say the kid at least has promise.
I guess the old childhood rhyme “teacher teacher I declare I see someone’s underwear” will now get you suspended and marked with a scarlet “P” for life.
Orwell’s predictions for the future were far too mild.
!
Future president?
This must be a really progressive school if prostitution is one of the offenses listed on the discipline referral slip.
Something like that.
In other words tell the kid to join the club.
A six year old, sexual harassment. He is just a baby for crying out loud. This nation has flipped its collective wig.
Think about how tall most 6 yr. olds are in relation to an adult.
The kid couldn’t help it. His eyes are probably at “butt level” to the teacher!
And he was probably wondering “How come my mama’s don’t look like that?”
Kindergarten? New series - Pimp My Bike!
I'd like to know how telling the teacher on another classmate's behavior can be considered sexual harrassment. He didn't say that "he liked looking at her behind". Yet, he's the one being labeled. The inmates truly are running the asylum.
I’m a boob man so while your spinsplanation might do wonders for little Pinkney Jr. it wouldn’t have done squat for me.
Hey dad, there is a name for your son’s condition. It’s called “normal heterosexual boy”
I’d be proud to call that boy my son
I like the whole package...as Euell Gibbens said may...err nevermind LOL
may = many (got me all worked up)
Nice catch.
I hope this picture posted on the article is not the real form the kid brought home.
"Susie, you're grounded again. How many times do I have to tell you not to work at school. Pimping yourself is only an night time activity after you ate your dinner and done your homework"
Darn kids !!!
I liked the whole package. It was just the bow that first caught my attention. ;-)
Given these standards I dare say you would have never made it out of pre-school without being locked up.
Maybe they thought he was projecting. That seems to be a hip excuse with that bunch.
Sorry that condition is viewed as abnormal in school nowadays. I'm sure there is a drug he will have to take to cure him of it.
From all the comments on this posting, I guess you & I are the only ones who can read & understand what was written.
However, this kid is the son of a preacher, so there might be an agenda involved.
Might be that, in today's world, they consider the looking & being looked at normative behavior; and being offended (or believing the teacher should be offended) is a violation & invasion of the looker's & lookie's rights to sexual privacy.
I'm so sick of this stupidity!
AHAHAHAHAAAA! Funniest thing I've read all month.
Regards,
A six year old doesn’t know what sexual harrassment even is. But nothing surprises me from government anymore.
LOL! Love that picture.
This must be a really progressive school if prostitution is one of the offenses listed on the discipline referral slip.

I’m actually surprised to see a preacher in this day and age sending his child to a government school. Shows how far (down) we’ve come that I’m surprised.

You answered your own question
I guess you & I are the only ones who can read & understand what was written.
No, most understand, we are just used to this level of PC stupidity at the school system
Remember the left's battle cry: "The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge that matters."
When asked to respond, kindergarten teacher and part time pole dancer Kitten Beaver replied, "but they're in school to learn, and, by gum, we'll teach them, if we have to molest them to do it!"
(Not that I think either of them should be disciplined.)
Great minds...see #33
Ping...
I agree. Shaking my head again.
A six year old, sexual harassment. He is just a baby for crying out loud. This nation has flipped its collective wig.
Until the teacher starts returning the looks and then goes into a sexual relationship because the kid started it...then what do you say? You can’t have it both ways. Sorry I know you would like too but in this day of teacher student relationships, I don’t blame the schools for being cautious. Just a thread behind this one way a teacher who was given 48 years for sexual relations and people are calling him on it. It has to stop somewhere. Now this kid might think twice about this at a later age.
If I were that boy’s father, I’d have a private meeting with that teacher and ask her to take off her top.
“Yeah, we copy. It’s the 411 on the 911 call about a possible 651 in progress at P.S. 142, Kennedy Elementary.”
Oooh, a 180, Tardy! Oooh, a 270, Refusal To Cooperate!
Tell the kid, next time, keep your eyes open and your MOUTH SHUT! They haven’t devised a tracking device to show what all the kids are looking at, or read their little minds. With all the shows on TV, even farily clean ones like “Home Improvement”, giving kids these kinds of ideas and talking about them, it’s not surprising, though.
Get your kid outta that gubmint school.
ditto
Let’s get a look at that butt, shall we.
Maybe it has shape issues that would make a 6 year point it out and laugh. hmmmm?
Any teacher who could not handle this one-on-one with a six year old child is unfit for the job.
I know - that was what had really confused me about it as well. How does one become guilty of a crime by simply reporting it?
Hey! Don't snitch!
;-)
Ummm...that would be “Pimp my tricycle.” :)
