Boy suspended for playing kiss chase
An eight-year-old boy has been suspended from school for kissing a classmate on the cheek.
Stephen Fogelman from Branson, Mississippi, who is in the third grade, has been excluded after he was spotted kissing a girl during a chase game in the playground.
School officials say they saw the kiss as sexual harassment.
Stephen's parents say the boy doesn't even know what sexual harassment means and he didn't know he was doing anything wrong, reports Short news.com.

If he was to kiss a boy would that be o.k.?????
That is utterly absurd. I have a twelve year old boy, and I can tell you ... he and his friends are so not into girls, and especially in grade school. I can be almost postive that a group of girl initially started this "kiss tag" thing ... it seems to be a phenomenon in every elementary school. If a girl had chased a boy and kissed him, would his parents have sued her for sexual harrassment? Of course not. People need to get a grip.
