Now they want to outlaw puppy love

Children under the age of, say, 10, wouldn't understand the first thing about sex.

Which begs to ask why Hunter Yelton, 6, was suspended by his school district in Colorado, just for kissing a female classmate on the hand. Worse, the child has been listed by the district as a sex offender.

SAY WHAT??

It's one thing to have school administrators across the country over-react to kids using toy weapons or creating guns with their fingers or, in the case of a Pennsylvania boy, also suspended, gesturing as if to shoot a bow & arrow, likely inspired by the current CW series, Arrow. It's another thing altogether to emotionally traumatize a first grader who's barely able to make friends to begin with.

According to reports compiled by Yahoo!, the girl involved in this scenario was ok with Hunter giving her a loving peck on the hand---he'd previously kissed her on the cheek---which would suggest that there is mutual interest between the two. Back in the day, no one would've thought twice. Then again, no one would've thought twice back then about finger-guns when kids were playing "Cops & Robbers", either. Sadly, the small-minded administrators in young Mr. Yelton's school are refusing to budge from their position, however wrong though it is, which would almost certainly mean litigation is in order from the Yeltons, assuming they can afford to hire a lawyer.

I know the air is thin in Colorado, but this is beyond ridiculous.
