“To me he was a very heartless man, and he did it because of politics.”

That’s a perfect description of a man who would suspend a student because he commented to another that a teacher was “cute”.

I wonder haw many years this Principal has been using bad judgement.

It’s not fair – just because I don’t’ know how to be a principal, they won’t let me be a principal.
Loser.

They said ” A MAN, YAY!” when the child was born, and named him Emanyea. his mom,Chiquita, is no ordinary, Chick-ita, either!

My thoughts exactly!

“To me he was a very heartless man, and he did it because of politics.”

No, it was because YOU ARE A MORON!

typical liberal…he suspends a 4th grader for saying a teacher is “cute” and then whines that HE wasn’t treated fairly!!!!
What an idiot.

Good riddance

44 years on the job gave him the insight to do something this stupid to a kid?

Yeah I would have asked for you resignation too.

I believe this to be typical of the state of public education today. Its not politics it liberalism.

[...] Anyone stupid enough to suspend a kid or even consider it for this “transgression” shoul…: The principal of a Gaston County school where a 9-year-old boy was suspended for sexual harassment submitted his resignation Tuesday, saying he wasn’t given a chance to apologize. [...]

One Idiot down many more to go

I agree that I was outraged when he suspended the student. Of course we didn’t have many details surrounding the incident. In any case, I think everyone deserves a second chance, just like the student. The principal is caught, just like all schools now, between idiots who think everything is sexual harassment and the idiots who wants someone’s head beause they try to please everyone. Tempest in a teapot and a definite overreaction.

mucho grande dittos !!!

This ‘Principal’ is a creep. He is an example of what is wrong with the educational system and i suspect he, and many others like him, should have been fired long ago.

Whining about his career while being totally dismissive of the student he harmed with his ignorance is further indication of his malfeasance and incompetence. Good riddance.

“A statement from the “SYSTEM” said it was determined that the fourth grader at Brookside Elementary School didn’t engage in sexual harassment.”

So now systems speak?

That’s what was going through my mind as I read the story.

“I really don’t believe I was treated fairly.” Sorry guy, but this is the real world,not the playground. There are consequences to you actions, and, as an adult, you don’t get do-overs, in spite of what Mr. Holder and his buds think. And, 44 years in ”education?” When did you have a chance to work a real job?

Gotta wonder how many other decisions of this nature he’s made that have gone uncontested. Gotta go – they’re sending one of “our” crooks to jail today.

maybe he can join OWS.

The principal did not care that he destroyed a little boy and his future by labeling him as a sex offender. This man needs to be taken out and horsewhipped along with the teacher who reported this. Remember there is a teacher that started the ball rolling. Why hasn’t she been punished? Libs have ruined this country and we must marginalize them and rebuild our nation.

Good riddance to an uneducated AND unforgiving principal who apparently has spent 44 years too many in “education.” Maybe now he’s finally learned something himself.

Hey, (former) Principle Bostic, Here’s are reminder – You are not the victim here.

Good Riddance. The principal was obviously a Liberal Moron. It’s just too bad that the teacher who complained about it was not fired for being an idiot.
It’s no wonder that the education system is turning out morons with their heads full of mush.

44 years.

Sounds to me like this ex-principal is more worried about his “44 year” record than doing right by kids. He certainly mentions it enough in this brief snippet. I guess no one sees any problem with tenure in the school systems either

“lack of parental discipline”?!?!?!?!? What planet are you from…the same one that hatched the principal? The child is 9 years old…boys will say things that no human parent can predict or prevent. Obviously you are not a parent of a human child.

Dumba**

I think this story is cute.

If the kid had called the teacher a B i t c h he would have been praised for using culturally correct language.

Exactly!

What the child said is not inappropriate. The parent has no need of shame in this. You’re the twit here, believing that we should all agree with political correctness. I for one never practice political correctness in any situation. I find it offensive that you believe this hogwash. I doubt I could tolerate you in my presence.

The details that were made available pointed to this kid being a nuisance and a racist who had said one thing too many. Based on the story that come out either Sunday or Monday, the comments about his teacher seemed to be the final straw. If that story is correct, than the principle made the right decision in suspending a kid who was a disruption to the classroom. If that story was wrong, then the principal is an idiot.

How is it bad parenting that a 9 year old says to his friend that he thinks the teacher is cute? He didn’t say anything sordid. He didn’t call her a bad name. He didn’t even say it to her. He was talking to a friend and said he thinks the teacher is cute. That’s a pretty normal statement for a kid to make at that age if they like their teacher. I would imagine that many little boys and girls like their teachers and tell a friend they think the teacher is nice, cute, pretty, or whatever. This isn’t a discipline problem, except with the principal.

You have got to be kidding me. A 9 year old kid thinks his teacher is cute. That’s a problem? It is normal. What is wrong with having a positive thought about the appearance of someone — especially a teacher? Most teachers I know (including 2 nieces) would be ecstatic if their pupils thought they were cute. This thinking that any kind of “sexual” thinking is harrassment is way over the top. “Concerned” should be more “concerned” about why Johnny Can’t Read, and why American kids are fallilng so far behind the rest of the world in the sciences and math. This fuzzy headed, politically correct dogama is a large part of the reason.

Is the “system” anything like the matrix?

You are a moron if you think labeling a kid a sexual offender is justified for calling the teacher, “cute”. I hope to God that you are not part of the education system.

I guess if my child should ever say someone is cute I should take them behind the woodshed and give them some direction. What ever happened to common sence which this person does not seam to comprehend

You decry the lack of parental discipline at home and yet it is the liberal morons like you that punish parents when actually enforce their discipline on a child at home.

The government from the local dog catcher to the president needs to be fired-let’s start all over again.

lol no kidding! my thought exactly.

After 44 years as a beacon of enlightenment and knowledge he did not have the wisdom to see that a 9 year old does not think or act the same way as a dried out old man.

No the overreaction was the adult’s action. A school principle beat me everyday for 3 years, because I acted out due to child abuse at home. I’m 60 and still mad at that man. Hang this guy, for offending this innocent child.

Wait… a 9 year old calling his teacher cute to a friend is inappropriate? In what context? He didn’t say anything sexually suggestive and he didn’t use any inappropriate language. All he did was tell a friend that he thought she was cute. He’s 9! There’s no way he should be expected to understand that while what he said wasn’t inappropriate, it may have exhibited a very minor lapse in judgement. Having said that, adults do this all the time. Have you honestly never mentioned to a friend that you thought someone else was attractive? This kid just had the misfortune of being overheard.

This principal got exactly what he deserved. He’s a bum and a loser who has no concept of reality and lacks the ability to make decisions based on common sense. What they ought to do is pull his pension, too. Anyone who agrees with him or sympathizes with him is simply ignorant.

There are plenty of instances where parents should be held accountable for the actions of their kids, such as when kids attack other children, bully their peers, set things on fire, bring guns to school, etc. This situation is in no way similar. It’s disturbing that you would invoke a concept such as parental responsibility in a situation such as this.

Dont worry dude your resignation is your apology. Liberals, LOL

What do you people NOT understand about ZERO tolerance? This man had NO leeway in deciding what to do. Our administrator’s hands are absolutely tied. He is suffering because of the liberal policies of government run indoctrina…um…education. GROSS overreaction by all involved. The kid is a kid and should NEVER have been suspended.

HE’S NOT A “MAN” ,HE’S A LITTLE “GIRLY-MAN” SHOULD NOT BE AT THAT JOB!!! THANK GOD HE’S GONE, BUT WAITE SOUNDS LIKE A LAWYER IS A COMING!!!

He said it himself 44 years Dr Glen Whitten

Goodby POC. I’ll cry a river for you.

Public Schools = Liberal Brain Washing Concentration Camps

He’s is an idiot, but he’s not the only one. Hint Hint.

He is

44 years in “education” and this clown never learned any “common sense.” Sadly, there are far too many guys like this in the public education system today.

This guy is part of the problem. You can retire at 40 years into the Education system with full benefits, there is no reason to go past 40 years unless you are on a power trip and just like bossing people around and forcing your opinion on all those below you.

Send him packing.

Perhaps she was named after a banana?

Poor baby! My heart almost aches for his pain. With a fat public retirement pension provided by overly burdensome school taxes, he got off much too easy for all the grief that he inflicted on this innocent child. At the very least, he should have been reported to Child Protective Services for all the needless abuse that he heaped on this child and his fammily.

Only an IDIOT would bring politics into this story. Get a clue. It is bad enough we have to read about this man.

According to the initial article. The student also had been previously warned about using racial slurs and the term he used was not “cute” it was “fine”.
“WSOC-TV reports that a letter shared by the boy’s mother says he has a history of using inappropriate language about other students. The woman says it’s the first time she’d heard that about her son.

The boy said he called a teacher “cute,” but the school says he used the word “fine.” Brookside Elementary School says the child’s comment amounts to sexual harassment.

The school’s letter said the boy had been warned for using racial slurs and other derogatory words to describe other students.”

About tome some of these touchy-feely PC indoctrinated administrators get canned for not using that little thing called a brain. Apparently with a lot of current school administrators, common sense is an uncommon virtue.

Politics? Liberals see EVERYTHING in terms of politics. They reflect Fredrick Engles take that traditional marriage, natural family structure, and religion must be destroyed so as to create the disaffected individuals who owe all loyaly to the State. That most teachers brainlessly work to bring this about without understanding what they do is quite similar to how most Germans toiled without real understanding of what they were bring about.

No, he’s probably worried that he may have lost his pension rights.

[...] [...]

Aye, he could have card less about how HIS heartless action of suspension for no reason would have on that poor little boy. Him and educators, both male and female, like him are the ones playing politics.

What a joke, he doesn’t think he was treated fairly? As if the student was?

The only thing that is unfair is that he was allowed to resign instead of being fired for cause.

Beautiful! This principle got what he deserved. How dare he suspend a child, especially a 9 year old, for simply saying his teacher was cute. He should never work in the education field again.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ZT RULES??

ZT PROVES THAT COMMON SENSE ISN’T

sounds like ‘concerned” is employed by a school district.

Any normal teacher would’ve turned the incident into a teachable moment, not anything else.

before you feel sorry for him, think of how much mess this moron must have created in 44 years of “teaching.” good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Anyone who thinks that a 9 year old is guilty of “sexual harassment” for calling a teacher “cute” is too stupid to have a job emptying the waste baskets in a school, let alone be the Principle. I’m glad they got rid of this idiot. Does he look and talk like Barney Fife by any chance?

Buh-bye! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. We need to clear out our schools of all these PC revolution progressives.

Political Correctness, liberals and lawyers. Anything ridiculous and destructive can — and will — happen to people’s lives.

Run for Superintendent you big baby!

This guy [who resigned] is a classic looter/moocher, as written about by Ayn Rand (“Atlas Shrugged”). People like this can lead to the utter destruction of any culture/economy: “WAAAAAH! It’s not my fault! I couldn’t help it! They MADE me do it! You’re HEARTLESS! You just don’t CARE about the underpriveliged! WAAAAHH! THE PUBLIC GOOD………….!”

Hey buddy! You want some cheese with that whine?

True. What a selfish punk this guy is. There’s a story like this almost everday.

When I was in fourth grade I was “in love” with my teacher! I thought she was cute! This is flattery to the highest degree. Unless the kid said something else we are unaware of, I don’t get it!

Can we get a photo of the Cute Teacher?

This isn’t even a lapse of judgement much less a minor lapse of judgement. It is a compliment pure and simple. The kid is not some employee in a workforce where he could be sued for this kind of silliness–we’ve become so politically correct that we label innocent compliments as inappropriate!

Politics is very relevant. This kind of man is who the liberals who run our schools aspire to be and look up to. He only crime was that he wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer and let his liberal bias hang out for the whole world to see. He got canned for getting caught being stupid about his bias, not for the bias itself.

If you were told that an attractive person is “fine”, then would you see that as a bad thing? The kid calling another a foul name is NOT in anyway the same as calling the teacher attractive.

Additionally, if the child has been taught racism (because that IS a taught behavior, not an inherent behavior) isn’t it the responsibility of those around him to try to teach him better, not to turn him away? This suspension is going to foster distrust for school administration, making it all the harder to make him a decent person.

Fantastic job by the principal. Way to ruin another child.

There is no mention of Emanyea Lockett “father” in the article, so no doubt we’ll be revisiting this in 10-20 years, when the “student in question, Emanyea Lockett , grows up to be a rapist. If the teacher felt unnerved enough about the incident to refer it to the principle, there’s more to the story than is being reported…

It’s the right outcome. When school administrators begin to suffer permanent career consequences for exercising arrogant, crackpot PC policies, maybe we will see some beginning of a return to common sense.

Damned if he did, damned if he didn’t.

Because of “politics?” Are you kidding? Political correctness is politics! Socialist
politics. A sadbedrock of the education system that’s been creeping up on us for 3-4 decades. . So, the principal got exactly what he deserved. He and every other commie in the school system should be fired and drummed out of town. I can only wonder how much damage this politically correct socialist did to kids during his 44 years. Let children be children. God knows they will have to deal with leftist politics soon enough in life. Good riddance!!!!

Common practice now a days is to overreact. All this politically correct bs has turned people into weak kneed sycophants. What a pathetic society we have become. People that don’t believe in something will fall for anything. Using the pretext of political correctness our freedom of speech has been taken away and we didn’t even let out a whimper. Impossible to think like a rational human being when doing so is sure to get you criticized.

She’s white, just like the principle, that’s why you DON’T see their photos…

Apparently the school system is fixated on making bad judgments and over reacting! First the principal over reacts on the alleged “sexual harassment” nonsense and the then the administration over reacts by canning the principal for over reacting. Your school tax dollars at work! .

I’m glad I went to school in the 1970s and 80s. There were many times I and others would describe a teacher as cute. When I was in high school we used hot to describe a certain teacher. Of course we never said it to her face, but still it was said in school and no one was suspended. Schools today are a joke with nutjobs like Bostic as the helm. Good by and good riddance!

He wants mercy but he provided no mercy for the poor fourth grade boy who did nothing more than give his teacher a compliment.

Right on. And don’t think the kids won’t cower the next time that substitute teacher shows up. She took what should have been a childish compliment and turned it into something dark. Shame on her. She needs to quit her sub role.

Interesting… Then I guess all the other news agencies including this article got it wrong when they said: “School officials offered an apology to Emanyea Lockett and his mother, Chiquita Lockett, after the boy was accused of calling a teacher ‘cute.’”

I can’t believe no one has blamed Obama, yet…isn’t that how these comment boards work?

And they probably would have been FIRED for not enforcing the states zero tolerance policies that crybaby parents have FORCED down our educators throats.

Well, that would make him 66-at least. time to retire & let some younger, far less paid admiistrator take over.

This principal whines about the 44 years of being an overpaid control freak that he has behind him. Whereas his little “error” was about to destroy the 44 years that the 9-year-old boy has ahead of him. Nope, they nailed the right a-hole this time. The problem is, why was he ever allowed to be an “educator” in the first place.

Thank you!

Correct.

ABSOLUTELY correct!

Is there no common sense left in our school system? I see stories like this all of the time. A 1st grader draws a stick figure holding a crude gun picture, and they call the police, etc. Good Lord almighty.

It’s obvious that there is more to this story than is being reported. CBS should have talked with the substitute teacher that got the ball rolling. I don’t doubt that the “student” Emanyea Lockett was being disruptive to the point of attempting to get a sexual conversation started with his rowdy classmates, and the teacher had enough and nipped it in the bud when she saw this beginning. Where is Emanyea Lockett’s father in this whole incident???

You know, I hate to be all negative but does this not seem a bit odd to anyone else? I read about this story a couple of days ago and was furious. I would have loved to have seen someone fired immediately.

However, this kind of thng is nearly common place these days and in the vast majority of cases the teachers, administrators and attorneys circle the wagons and start attacking kids and parents. The very same day I first read this article I also read of a seven year old boy being brought up on sexual harassment charges for kicking a bully in the nards. No one ever quits or is fired.

So getting back to my negativity; One has to wonder what this administrator is afraid might be found in an investigation. OR based on all we’ve seen from the heros in the public schools, one would have to believe that this lefty nonesense FINALLY took place in a school that is in fact concerned about the kids.

Hmm

Newsflash…schools in the 70s and 80s were a joke too. This is NOTHING new just the inevitable slippery slope witnessed. Bostic had ZERO choice but to take action. Had he not, the teacher and other student’s parents would have been at his door with torches…The teacher herself could have kept it IN the classroom but that might have cost her HER job so she simply did what the state (and crybaby, litigious PARENTS) DEMANDS she must and report the “incident” to her principal. At that EXACT moment, he had NO choice…

if he’s resigning without fighting then there is almost certainly MUCH WORSE that has gone on that he is resigning to avoid having looked at

this incident is likely just the tip of the iceberg with this guy – he has been exercising this horrendous, scandalous excuse for “judgment” for 44 years? Lord only knows the damage this man has done!

Not fair? He suspends a young man for using a word “cute” – violating the kids free speech, and he howls ‘Unfair?”

They missed tarring, feathering, and running him outa town on a rail…

Not to worry there are many Progressives out there who will hire this piece of trash…

“I really don’t believe I was treated fairly.” After suspending a child for calling a teacher cute and saying it was sexual harassment, you mean? kthx bye!

[...] always tough when someone loses a job but I’m really not ginning up much sympathy for this fellow. The principal of a Gaston County school where a 9-year-old boy was suspended for sexual harassment [...]

any normal teacher should have ignored it completely and gotten on with the business he/she is paid to do

What details? Please give us something to read other than what has been published so far. I don’t see how being “cute” is racist & as far as being a “nuisance,” that comment speaks volumns.

Emanyea Lockett has a father – somewhere. Where there is smoke there’s fire, and it sounds like Emanyea is on the path to raping and prison in about fifteen years or so.

What about the teacher? The idiot must have been offended by the remark and reported it to the principal. Hopefully the kid doesn’t have to go back to her classroom.

Or perhaps he is just SICK of having zero tolerance policies shoved down his throat while his authority to keep “issues” in house is stripped away…but you just keep on railing about how bad HE is…

one less socialist democrat polluting the minds of our youth.

According to the initial article. The student also had been previously warned about using racial slurs and the term he used was not “cute” it was “fine”.
“WSOC-TV reports that a letter shared by the boy’s mother says he has a history of using inappropriate language about other students. The woman says it’s the first time she’d heard that about her son.

The boy said he called a teacher “cute,” but the school says he used the word “fine.” Brookside Elementary School says the child’s comment amounts to sexual harassment.

The school’s letter said the boy had been warned for using racial slurs and other derogatory words to describe other students.”

I assume all schools would claim to teach some level of critical thinking to students – while evidently not exercising it themselves.

Suspend a kid for telling the teacher she is cute???????????? And this is sexual har. Liberalism at it’s finest. These isiots follow the liberal rules handed down from washington just to keep their careers. Take away his pension and health insurance and everything else.

My only question is how did a person this stupid get to be a principal in the first place?

So what would have been the consequences if he had said the teacher was ugly?

Allowing the principal to resign was far too easy.

PRISON.

This idiots focus on his 44 years of experience over any real accomplishments shows just how messed up the education career field is! His weak argument that the forced resignation is “political” is equal evidence that the principle was a loser who simply stuck around long enough to get a top position.

Good riddance Mr. Bostic, don’t let the door hit you in the rear!

People must come to understand why government schools are completely dysfunctional. This is not caused by a freak of nature. These things happen by design.

The only way to rid ourselves of the stone around the neck of an American recovery is to de-certify every teacher that graduated from an ed- school.

Here is the only way to secure our future.

No more leftism and union thuggery in place of knowledge and the acquisition of skills.

No more education bureaucrats

Parents send their own kids to school on their own dime. They can contract with their own kids for the costs involved to be paid back by the kids when they are capable of doing so.

Oh the children’s SS payments go to their own parents, no one else.

Apolgy accepted, Captain Needa.

The mother wanted blood and her fifteen minutes of fame – but in reality she doesn’t see the warning signs, specifically that her child is on the road to becoming a dropout and a criminal. Other news channels have discussed about how her son has a history of being disruptive, but this channel doesn’t mention that fact. Her son probably won’t make it past his first year in high school, and somewhere in life she’ll wonder how she missed all of the warning signs.

THIS COUNTRY IS INSANE! The use of a word (goes to the whole free speech issue- Our FIRST AMENDMENT) ‘cute’ by a nine year old kid leads his to suspension and the resignation of adult. We are living in a Bureaucratic Twilight Zone. This kid’s life has been bent out of shape but don’t worry there is a whole slew of agencies designed to help him along. Says so in the article.

Most public school teachers would do us all a favor by resigning.

Let’s see: this 65 yr. old WHITE woman used to listen to Motown Music in H.S. & called any “cute” boy “Fine,” too! As in, ‘He’s so FINE.”

But then, we still had free speech!l

Ooops meant ‘ to his suspension’ not ‘ his to suspension

Dear Chris Mc,

Amen. You saved me from writing the exact beliefs.

ok, it’s Obama’s fault.

Excellent question.

We’re mostly in agreement that the Principal went overboard in the punishment. But what about the judgement of the teachers who brought the 9 year old to his office ? Are they really that sensitive that “cute” is an offensive adjective ? Maybe they thought they saw an erection through the boys pants that led them to believe it was a sexual comment. I doubt it. Seems like these teachers ought to be given some guidance as well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been referred to as “honey” or “sweetie” by an older waitress when taking my order in a diner. Was she coming on to me ? Apparently I’ve been harrassed in the workplace all this time and didn’t even realize it. I’ll have to be sure and report the next time it happens if the example of this kid is the new standard in our society.

More like Barney Frank.

One word needs to be banished from the language for 100 years before it may be once again legally used:

“Inappropriate”

This word is worse that the “N” word – we’ll call this one the “I” word and excuse anyone from throttling the next officious bureaucrat that utters it – justifiable homicide.

“To me he was a very heartless man, and he did it because of politics.”

BWAAA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh man, is this real life? Looks like Christmas came early this year! (^_^)

I was in a public school with my 2nd grade daughter last week. While eating lunch with her, I witnessed 8 boys surround 3 girls in a line. They proceeded to bump and grind like they were 18. They grabbed their crotch, and high fived each other like they’d scored a touchdown. It was unbelievable. Their teacher did nothing, but I can promise you that I stopped it.

So, if you want to say there was no ’cause’ for suspension, maybe you’re right, but I’d caution you that there could be more to the story.

You can’t fix stupid, especially 44 years of experienced stupid. That much experience and still making the decision of a a 4 year old. A better system without him.

You guys crying about liberalism? This is the essence of right-wing extremism if you ask me.

Right wingers are all about punishment – if you got pregnant by rape, you should be punished and forced to have the child. If you got sick and lost your job, tough cookies, you should be punished. Lose your health insurance? tough – magically create another job or be punished. Smoke a joint? go to jail! Punish punish punish those who may make a mistake. There is no shot at redemption in the right wing world.

so suspending this kid for saying the wrong thing to his teacher – sounds like right wing philosophy to me.

Many t5imes an incompetent teacher is motivated to get out of the classroom and go into Administration. My 35 years as a teacher has seen this happen many times.

Interesting reading here:

http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf

Hmmmm…think maybe interfering, overbearing, over-litigious PARENTS are just a SMALL, tiny part of the problem here? Sounds to me like the kid got EXACTLY what he should have. If he were my kid he’d be working REAL hard those two days and he’d also be writing letters of apology to EVERYONE involved…

Actually based on tcp’s post I’m wondering if we’ve been misinformed. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

At first it seemed like the principal’s reaction was overkill, but if tcp is right, this boy is a troublemaker and maybe a racist.

In which case, being called “fine” by such a one could be harrassment.

This is just one more in a long list of political correct niwittery being imposed by administrators across our country.

You’re seriously asserting the Nuremberg Defense?

How oddly appropriate

This action of resigning is nothing more than a “dog and pony” show put out by the school system. In one swift motion of making this principal resigns, they also apologize to the mother and hopefully avoid a lawsuit, which will cost the school system money.
If they thought they could avoid a lawsuit by simply apologizing, that would be the end of the story.

I’m glad to see the idiot being held accountable for his actions …. too bad he will be getting a pension though.

The media is leaving something out in this particular account. Based on what I’ve heard on other TV Stations, it sounds like Emanyea (the 4th grader) was being disruptive, was warned several times to cut it out, and he continued to ratchet it up to the point where he tried to get a sexual conversation going amongst his classmates. The substitute teacher saw that Emanyea was trying to get this conversation going, so she finally sent him up to the principles office. The principle was trying to support the substitute teacher, and this is the end result. Instead of Emanyea’s mother disciplining him for being disruptive, she blamed the school for his actions. Chiquita (his mother) needs to look inside and see just how she is raising her son.

FINALLY a good BUREAUCRATIC DECISION!!!!!

Interesting read right here about forth grader Emanyea Locketton and where he’s headed in life:
http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf

TCP should understand that the laws concerning sexual harassment state that the offenses must be “repeated”. Saying something about a female teacher one time is not harassment. It must occur severals time and must be repeated after the offended party has asked the person to “stop”.
I can ask a woman for a date; I can ask a woman to come to my house for drinks; I can say just about anything to or about a woman that is not considered harassment, if I say it only one time.
A school kid can say a teacher is “hot”, but that is not harassment. If he continues after being told not to say that anymore, then it becomes harassment.
The school over reacted and so did the substitute3 teacher. They both need to be looking for a new job.

Barack Hussein Obama’s children are in Private School, where students are kicked out for being disruptive…

The comments on here make me sick to my stomach. There’s much more to this story. You are all jumping to conclusions. This is a good and decent man who is the victim of a society where kids do no wrong and politics destroys you in one hour! SHAME! This boy was not a victim- the principal is. It is amazing that ANYONE will even work in a school these days the way the public and politicians are treating them.

The bottom line is this, if you get caught looking like a dumb ass in the eyes of everyone in the country, don’t be surprised when it costs you your job. The solution, don’t be a “dumb ass”, and use some common sense.

“To me he was a very heartless man, and he did it because of politics.”

And your stupid heartless politics is what made you suspend a child for saying a teacher was cute. Didn’t matter that this would damage and stigmatize a young child, the most important thing was that everyone else saw you being a good little liberal soldier practicing your zero tolerance PC BS.

Perfect justice if you ask me. About time YOU start getting YOUR life destroyed over some liberal busybody’s politics.

What is all your babbling rant supposed to mean? Can you answer that, idiot?

sexual harassment for calling a teacher cute? Are you freakin kidding me!
All students should go to school today and call one of their teachers cute. If everbody does it maybe this sexual harassment BS will go away. They can’t send everbody home. If they do go back tomorrow and do the same thing.

The media isn’t telling the whole story:

I’m thinking that scientists should test the water in the USA. There is something making this country STUPID.

Yeah that’s the rule they came up with after Clinton. Prior to the Philanderer in Chief, sexual harassment was defined as “if the woman feels harassed”. But with Billy the Kid in office groping everything within arms reach, NOW came up with this “everyone gets a free “no” rule. What it boils down to is: Conservatives harass, liberals flirt. Tell NOW thank you.

This principle should have had a heart when he decided to convict a 9-year-old child of sexual harassment. I don’t feel sorry for this guy.

Good riddance to another PC liberal brainwasher who will no longer be poisoning young minds.

Hear, hear fire the teacher too!!

Bill, please read more carefully. my$.02 is explaining the boy’s name is Emanya…not the principal.

“He was a heartless man and did it because of politics.” That’s laugh out loud funny. The suspension was heartless and done because of ridiculous policitical correctness. What’s good for the goose…

Not to worry though! Now, you can take a fat buyout and claim unemployment benefits for 99 weeks!

I’m glad this was NIP’D IN THE BUD!… but still kids are being suspended from things like wearing Christmas tree shirts to kissing on the playground… This needs to stop!!

Krazy bill voted for Barack HUSSEIN Obama, hence the name calling default when faced with a dose of reality

Wow. You have all sorts of details in there that aren’t in the story. Why are you contorting so in order to justify suspending a child for saying someone was cute? Teacher’s Union? Democrat? Special? What is it, Shaniqua?

Too little too late. The damage to the young man was done. Fire the teacher as well.

Again, all this furor would be gone if we went back to private schools, and
removed the state from what is not their function to start with. Read Why
So Many Conservatives are LIberal? at eauclairejournal.com plus they have
articles often on the fallacy of public schools

You nailed it. Liberals and lawyers. Ruining this country, and ruining the American spirit. They’re turning everyone into petty, whiny, spoiled, over-sensitive, victim crybabies. Someday, when the rest of the country is finally fed up with all their controlling BS, these hormonal rats will realize what it feels like to be a true victim. I can’t wait for that day.

Teachers in my area pick who subs for them. If the teachers have any sense they won’t be calling her ever again.

Are you serious? Jeesh, you must have been living in your mom’s basement too long So you’re saying that petty over-reaction by an authority figure because of some politically-correct agenda is a Republican thing? Crying about how things are scary, or insulting, or victimizing, or offensive to some special interest, and then trying to use bureacracy to ban and suppress it, that’s a Republican thing? Seriously, dude, you are a pathetic dingbat.

I hope this is the first major crack in the rusty armor that surounds Political Correctness. We should feel sorry for such an idiot as this? In my opinion, the teacher that ratted out the child should go too. Bring common sense back into the schools and get rid of these ridiculous zero tolerance socialistic rules. That kid did nothing but voice to another student an innocent crush on a teacher that has happened with children throughout the existence of schools. Idiots likes this principle are a product of politics and should be weeded out across the nation.

Political correctness started this. Thank liberal Democrats for penalizing kids for innocuous comments.

The principal feels he was treated unfairly? How about the 9 year old child that was suspended?

Let me think about this??!

44 years in education makes me willing to bet retirement was nigh, perhaps a soon as the end of the current school year.

So he can put up with the BS for 6 more months or retire now (at a pension close to my salary, have full health coverage forever, and take off to cruise the Adriatic).

Really tough choices these older teachers have these days. Oh I forgot to add, cost of living raises yearly on his pension, all of course borne by the citizens (taxpayers).

Tell me, what other job/profession guarantees you a lifetime of benefits and pension after 3 or 5 years?

Bt…Why did the teacher report it to the principle? Should’nt she be resigning as well?

That’s one less dolt in charge of our kids. No downside there.

I’m informed by listening to other news storys, reading the article in Sunday’s paper, witnessing the behavior of fatherless boys, and read the school suspension note http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf
The child’s mother should look within herself and how she and the aunt are raising this boy, or in twenty years they will be talking to him through bullett-proof glass when visiting hi in prison. This boy has issues due to being raised without a father figure, and he talkes out his aggression on classmates and women. This is Chiquita’s red flag moment, but she places blame on everyone else but herself – and it will haunt her if she doesn’t straighten him out. If I had a dollar for all the times I’ve seen this pattern in our community I could quit my 8-5 job.

The caliber of the people who administer these schools with their silly regulations and political correctness which are emphasized much more than actually educating the students, is abysmal. Their judgment is faulty, their common senses is absent. Good riddance to him. Now if only we could get rid of the rest of them…

Back when I was in grade school, we had this very cute teacher. The girls would give her hugs, the guys kiss and hug her. She was great, and you know what? She was the greatest teacher I’ve ever known.

What surprises me is how freaking insane people have become today. Hell 20 years ago having your teacher over for dinner with your family was still commonish. Now that wouldn’t happen if your house was on fire, and they had the key to the sprinkler system.

Why did he resign? If he’s a member of a teacher’s union, it’s nearly impossible to get fired no matter how bad or criminal he is. There are teachers who sexually molested students who don’t get fired from their union job.

In addition to the bad judgement this guy displayed, this guy sounds like he thinks he was entitled to a second chance not because of achievements or noteworthy contributions he made over 44 years. He thinks he was entitled to a second opportunity just because of his 44 year tenure. Sadly, this is reflective of the dysfunctional, non-achievment mindset prevelent in public education.

You hit the nail on the head Shaniqua!!! The Mom and Aunt should have had Emanyea spending the weekend writing Apology Letters to the Substitute Teacher and the Principle for his actions. Instead, they blame their failur on raising Emanyea on the school – typical in this day and age. If they continue to let this child get his way, they will be in for a REAL SHOCK when he’s fourteen or so!

Delusional.

This joker was allowed to be around our children for 44 years? Then he finds himself being promoted at some point a principal?? This is way too common all around the country. The public needs to figure out if you want the best help, you have to pay top dollar for it. Our nations priorities to pay bank and business execs top dollar draws the best and brightest to banking, commerce, etc. You get what you pay for.

The teacher who brought the complaint is equally guilty, They should both be fired.

cute…fine…doesn’t matter. Neither is sexual harassment. He wasn’t suspended for any other things he said. If that had been included it might float. In this case it doesn’t.

The Suspension Letter tells a whole different story. Seems the moron(s) in the story may be the superintendent, mother and aunt.

cute…fine…doesn’t matter. Neither is sexual harassment. He wasn’t suspended for any other things he said. If that had been included it might float. In this case it doesn’t.

I hope the kid practiced his right to grab his crotch in sexual glee as he announced to the class that the substitute teacher was cute.

After reading the suspension letter it looks like the real morons may be the superintendent, mother and aunt.

Good riddance, idiot. Who cares about your 44 years? I hope you don’t get your pension for being a jackwad.

Sweet kid – LOL!!! http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf

Now clear the kids record.

Ironic that the principal felt he was not treated fairly after he suspended a NINE year old kid for the sexual harassment problem of calling a teacher cute…..lol

All about him, nothing about the student he unfairly punished. Too bad he doesn’t realize a 44-year career ends as a result of his own moronic actions. Good riddance, and the system needs to be cleansed of all the others of his ilk.

44 years is 44 years too long to influence our children. He is what is wrong with educators around the country. If the teacher is cute what is wrong with saying that and taking it as a compliment. The teacher must be fired also and removed from the system. Merry Christmas to all.

“Bostic said. “I really don’t believe I was treated fairly.””

Was he possibly speaking of the student? He should have been! A case of self centerdness at its worst!

Aren’t these zero tolerance policies a b1tch? When applied to students, it “policy” however when applied to an adult, it’s political.
Why do I think this “poor” principal is going to end up as a consultant for the school district.

“I don’t believe I was treated fairly?” I guess the kid you suspended due to your PC
bureaucratic mindset felt the same way.

IDIOT!

Couldn’t agree more. The principal should feel the effects of zero tolerance that they place on the students; however, perhaps firing was a bit drastic. If the principal learned a lesson, perhaps he would have better judgement in the future.

And yet another Amen….

Amen!

Well Said Chris Mc

Overburdened indeed. I live in a well-to-do school district that is regularly attacked by my state’s robin hood law. And just yesterday I was sent a letter from the superintendant asking us to donate because the kids don’t have enough.

By God’s grace, we teach our kids at home and so we no longer have to feel obligated to the school district. I can breath!

As an educator and retired military offiicer, I have seen this so often it is mind numbing…some kids are very, very creepy, mean and awful! Its not just the “system” its the lack of “family” values. Degradation of society at its worst here.

I have seen nine year olds in the classroom act like nineteen year olds…what to do, what to do…they influence those around them and are foreshadowing their own futures as bad, sad creeps! Better to try to nip it in the bud..in whatever system parents and society has make necessary.

The principal was probably wrong. But I think a public apology would have been sufficient to redress for that. I don’t think they needed to demote him or fire him, especially considering his 44 years of service. It was playing politics with politics, which is stupid. The people who are calling for heads to roll on either side of this argument are totally out of bounds and need to take a civility check.

Give me a break. The problem isn’t the teacher. IT”S THE PARENT!! The schools are this way because for the lack of parent involvement. For every failed kid there is failed parenting. Two-thrides of a kids education come from home. Stop expecting the schools to raise you kids, that’s your resposibility. I wish parents would have to pay a monitary penilty for their kid failing. Unfourantly socitity will have to pay for you bad parenting. Or better yet go get your teaching credentials and go tech, Maybe then you will see what the teachers are up against.

Are you for real! Pretty inocent statement from a child ! You are blowing this way out of proportion!

I don’t know if heartless fits. Brainless? A martinet?
I see more and more where stupid rules are enforced inappropriately.
I thought our educators were supposed to be… Never mind. “Educators” like this one give the rest a bad name.

Wow, with your atrocious writing skills, I hope you weren’t observing them as a teacher.

Thanks for that, too bad the author of the article did not include it.

Cute.

I’m sorry folks to tell you this, but your little darlings aren’t always inocent. You need to stop reinforcing their bad behavior in school and stand behind the theacher and principal. Let the schools take the necessary action and you need to follow up with at home disciplin as well. It is wrong for you as parents to defend your kids when they are clearly wrong. It gives the kid the wrong idea. Shame on you if you are doing this.

you know, I couldn’t have said it better than that! Live by the sword…

After 44 years in the school system? He probably needs help finding his way home at night. He probably drives to the Raliegh DOE out of habit.

I love to watch liberal educrats becoming victims of their own monster. With 44 years, this man should have seen it coming all along. I wonder how many teachers he shafted in the last 4 decades. I bet a few of them are out there laughing.

44 year, huh? Obviously he was one of the many stewards who delivered destruction to our educational sytem, because I can tell you that they didn’t think that way 45 years ago.

Is she Cute?

“To me he was a very heartless man, and he did it because of politics.”
Um…..Me thinks the gentleman doth protest too much. This sentence was stated about him just a couple days ago. Now that the shoe has switched feet, he’s the blamer. This whole story sounds like an anecdote from Atlas Shrugged! One victim blames another, blames another, blames another, etc. The superintendent will probably be next to cry foul because “he was forced to accept the principal’s resignation”. He wanted the principal to stay.

Who is John Galt?

Amen, brother. Being a principal means having JUDGMENT and WISDOM. This guy had neither, being totally enthralled with the utterly misguided and witless value system commonly espoused by radical extremists.

And YOU, Tanya, need to spend the weekend bushing up on your spelling and capitalization rules.

The principal was damned if he didn’t do anything or if he did. It was a losing proposition for him,. He was made to resign after 44 years. Hmmm. Pro athletes get a better shake after doing drugs and womanizing. Cuurent president get away with ceime against this country we
hereas 20 years ago he would be impeached. Where are the priorities in this country. Alas we have none except PC ! I just wanna hear the truth spoken.

The mean man was the Principal who suspended the child, he got what he deserved. And the teacher should go with him!

Amen brother. However, this one good and rightful dismissal will have ZERO impact on our country or the people as the rest of the commie leadership is still intact.

Hey if you say “cute” in the workplace it wil get you fired. Soon there will be no communications made between sexes.

If what some people say is true, that the “cute” comment was part of a larger, disruptive event in the classroom, then why wasn’t the student reprimanded for the disruptive behavior, instead of the “cute” comment? What’s next? Are we going to force little boys to register as “sex offenders” when they are issued their social security cards?

I agree 100%.

Joe, wow. That note is kind of a game changer. It doesn’t paint this kid as being the innocent victim in all this. It sounds like hte straw that broke the camels back.
Although, this doesn’t change the fact that more and more we are hearing about insane “zero-tolerance” decisions being handed down by school administrators.
http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf

I agree 100% Tanya.

What a fitting end to such a politically correct maroon.

What a fitting end for such a politically correct maroon.

I was about the same age in the South when I wrote “we love Judy” on the board of my teacher, Judy H.. When she came into the classroom and saw it, instead of smiling or thanking the class. She screamed, “who wrote that!” When I raised my hand, she said,” How dare you use my first name, don’t you ever call me by my first name. Get out in the hall and stand there until I tell you to come back.” As you can see, the pain, shock and humiliation is remembered to this day, nearly fifty years later. I had another teacher whose pet was a bully that demeaned and harassed me. One day the girl made me cry saying truly mean things, and I ran into the bathroom. The teacher came in while I was crying and said “you deserve it because you’re stupid” (I was a straight A student two years ahead of my peers age wise). There are some really hostile, mean and sick people teaching our children.

Emanyea says when he has his own kid in a year or two, he’ll teach him to be respectful to women, something his own mother never taught him.. Google this kid in 5 years and I bet he has a felony arrest.

While a student calling a teacher “cute” DOES show some lack of respect for the teacher —aren’t students supposed to have at least SOME respect for teachers?— I questiion the principal’s decision to suspend the student.

Amen!

Was in fact the teacher cute? if so she should take it as a compliment
and consider herself lucky to be noticed.

Good riddance!

I’ll bet everyone above this idiot principal believes the boy committed sexual harassment but the public pressure made the superintendent fire the idiot.

How do such stupid people successfully graduated college? Liberal education professors do not fail anyone. They accept any answers on tests (if they give any tests) because they do not want to damage the poor liberal moron’s self esteem. The principal will get another job as his colleagues are patting him on the back.

@diginit .. Spell much? Your horrible rat is so full of grammatical errors as to be laughable. STFU you idiot.

Yea – what principal did was wrong….

BUT…

The kid was suspended – not expelled. I hardly think his “grief” will stay with him throughout his life. Plus, it was stripped from record books. I don’t know a single post-elementary school institution that would look at one suspension and care.

Child Protective services? Give me a break.

“I really don’t believe I was treated fairly.”

Yet you think that it’s “fair” to suspend a 9 year old for thinking a teacher is “cute”…and NOT EVEN SAYING IT TO A TEACHER but to another student???

Good riddance.

I am a former public school teacher but I never drank the kool aid. My children went to private schools like many OTHER public school teachers’ children. I agree with diginit that parents are the problem but teachers are the second problem and they only exacerbate the problems parents have and vice versa. The most important influences on a child’s life should be working together. One step is to realize that a compliment is not a reason for suspension…..just like one young boy hitting another in the groin is NOT sexual at all. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!

What a chump to play the victim and try and turn it around after using such poor judgment.

TxSon,

You spelled “rant” wrong>

.Hardly destroyed and his future is hardly ruined at 9 years of age.

No, you were fired because the judgment you used in suspending the student in the first playce was just plain stupid. If that is an example of the decisions you make, then you have no business being in the position you were in.

One question remains, was the teacher in fact cute? Just askin!

It appears they waited 44 Years too long

He was just another rotten liberal, who typifies all rotten liberal infesting the government-run education business of maintaining union jobs, and not necessarily int he education business.

He’s a rotten jerk and deserves everything bad coming his way

Good riddance to a worthless POS. Now if they would only do the same to those who charged the other student for kicking the bully in his ‘nads when the bully tried to strangle him…

It’s a sobering thought that this genius has been teaching for forty-four years. It makes me wonder how many more just like him are out there warping our children’s minds.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the ACLU steps in to defend this genius. They seem only to defend those things which are inimical to the proper functioning of our society.

AMEN!!!!

This boys mother and aunt don’t realize what a double edge sword they have unsheathed by publicizing this event to the point to get it on the internet. When Emanyea Lockett gets serious with the life of crime that lies ahead of him, this event and the school suspension docs that were posted to this site can be used as evidence of his pattern of bad behavior and mothers support of it! Too bad that the mother and aunt didn’t discipline him rather than choosing to find someone else to blame. But with America under our current President, and his constant blaming of everyone else rather than looking in the mirror, I suppose this is par for the course…

It is sad comment about US education that this imbecile was a principal of school. He should have been fired

“Emanyea Lockett and his mother, Chiquita Lockett…”

‘Nuff said.

I smell a rat..Oh, I mean a lawsuit.

yep typical Knee jerk reaction, dont think things through, base it on emotions and what is thought to be politically correct, then shock and dismay when there is consequence for their own outrageous behavior. Oh the union will step in and save his sorry a*^ so the kids will continue to be stuck with his poor decisions
What a stupid man and a whiner too.

I agree! But not only did the principle suspend the student, he tried to portray him as a sexual predator. It’s scary that after 44 years working with kids he sees 9 year olds as potential sexual predators. I am guessing he has had many unwise incidents like this and he was expecting to keep his job just like he always was allowed after these types of judgments.

Saw the boy on the news. Came across as a real wise-@ss kid. Am sure that his comment was accompanied by grossly inappropriate body language. Too bad about the principal who was trying to teach the boy a lesson. Seems that the kid and his momma (as well as every other kid in that school) have learned the wrong lesson.

Calling a teacher cute is not disrespectful, the child was expressing his thoughts to a classmate, not walking up to a teacher and calling her a cute floosie!!! The sub who reported it is more than likely a highly dysfunctional failure in life who doesn’t know the difference between a compliment and a complaint. The modern day expansion of Emmett Till’s beating and murder. For those of you who think there is something right about this even being considered harrassment at any level need to have your head and hearts checked. At this stage in human development, it is not only natural for a child to begin to recognize and celebrate differences in gender, it also the transition from being a child to being a pre-adolescent. And for those saying the Principal was a liberal, hardly!!! This is the action and behavior of a right wing angry white man who has anger and action misplaced because of his insecurity, fear, frustration and inferiority complex. The substitute should have been dismissed and prevented from being anywhere near a school ever again in life.

That ‘story’ was an idiotic attempt at a cover-up to keep this principal’s unscrupulous and ignominious decisions from being exposed and having the boomerang effect and impact on his life. Where Emanyea father is isn’t any of your business and has nothing to do with this story. How would a substitute teacher know any of that? The truth shall make you free, though you turn away from it.

HOW DID THIS SICK “EDUCATOR” SURVIVE IN THE SYSTEM FOR 44 YEARS WHILE MAKING DECISIONS LIKE THIS???

Let me join the Postman in saying those were my thoughts, exactly!

I read this report which should have been included to the article, as it’s an eye opener http://www.wsoctv.com/download/2011/1205/29926822.pdf as well as read all of the comments on this forum. I have to say, that the sanest comments are met with responses of name calling and the “spell check police.” Thus, a majority of the comments are way off track – which explains the current situation in America and how it is way off on the wrong track. The people that are working and responsibly raising their kids, AKA the silent Majority, are NOT represented here! This child needs to be taught, by his parents, that he is not supposed to be disruptive in school. Where is his father in all of this?

Parents share a portion of the blame but it’s the ACLU, atheists, and other special interests who have used the courts to impose their socilalism in the schools. Until these parenst start vgetting rid of the politicians who appoint these judges and kick out those judges who are elected by popular vote, nothing is going to get done.

Bottom Line – The suspension papers that a few forum commentators have posted show that the boy has exhibited a pattern of being disruptive in class, and for that alone he deserved to be suspended. I don’t know why the Principle went outside of that bottom line issue, and as it stands, I would say he has a grounds for a lawsuit against his former employer, for essentially forcing him out. I don’t think this is the last we will hear of this incident, nor of this child. The boy is clearly in the wrong for being a class clown, and it’s sad to see that his mother is reinforcing it – but that’s the age we live in. I’m glad my kids are in College, and see why so many of my co-worker choose private school for their children.

Richard, sex offenders are listed as such on a criminal record, not on a social security card. You sir, are exhibiting the all too common signs of being a liberal moron who has no idea on how the country you live in operates.

Mr. Bostic,

I say BOO FRICKIN” HOO to you that your career ends on this “sad final note.” The only thing that speaks to is your apparent lack of good judgment, and solidifies the school district’s decision to remove you from a position of influence over children.

Actions have consequences, people.

I wonder how much damage this clown did to other little boys over the course of 44 years? I often rightly rip white females in this culture for erecting the gynocracy, but they’ve had a lot of help from feckless clowns such as this bostic fellow.

Oh, the damage these so-called educators inflict.

Ya see Mr. Bostic, you and your constituents created this PC dynamic that you folks thought was in perpetuity when in fact this twisted anomaly is now is in reverse. Payback is a bad itch aint it? You’re fired, now move on…..

Emanya’s father is in PRISON – the same road he’s well on his way on with his mother’s and aunt’s support…

I’m glad atleast someone understands ZERO tolerance. Thanks tcp. As an administrtor your hands are really tied. You will never do right or make the right decsion. This guy after 44 years had enough. My hat goes off to him for surving this long. in reading this tread I can see why we need it in our schools. It’s the parents that are out of control not the kids. The kid should not have been suspended, however he should be made to understand what is apporiate and what isn’t. If All he said that the teacher was cuite, nothing should have happened to him. Like in all stories and this one is no excertion, we are not given any of the facts that leed up to he suspension.

I know spell check does not work lolo I’m in a hurry.

I hope that Emanyea grabbed his junk and swayed from side to side when he entertained the class with his deep thoughts. Thank god my children are in private school…

It was the mother who said he was in trouble for “sexual harassment”. He was actually suspended for profanity and inappropriate comments.

The letter sent home only pointed out his disruption of class with the things he said could be interpreted that way, if he did not change.

No wonder why Mr. Bostic resigned so quickly, Emanyea Lockett is going to make him a rich man once he’s done suing Gaston County School District for forced retirement.

Thanks to the readers that posted the suspension letter as it makes it pretty clear as to what was going on in this kids head. My bet is the school district will settle out of court when presented with all the evidence.
