Can we put the adults in charge?
Nine year old boy suspended for sexual harassment. His crime? Called his teacher cute.
Sexual harassment is one of those terms that is losing meaning. Through it on the trash heap with racist, fascist, socialist, and sexist. It means nothing.

This is what happens when you write vague laws.
Freeking left-ideas keep destroying my language and my country.

There appears to be more to the story than meets the eye.

Hmm. More but still not sexual harassment.

Note to self: remind my son in Kindergarten to always call his teacher after a date so as to avoid hurt feelings and possible harassment lawsuits.

The cure is just as bad as the disease. Words/phrases actually do mean things, and letting imprecise, or more obnoxiously, deliberately incorrect usage destroy the utility of those words/phrases really diminishes us all. It’s basically a soft, insidious form of censorship; destroy the meaning, and you destroy the means to quickly express the idea. Destroy enough words and you have no means to communicate.

It DOES mean something: money.
