Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 9, 2011

Like many other grade school-age boys, 9-year-old Emanyea Lockett of Gaston, North Carolina noticed that his teacher was pretty. He made the mistake of mentioning this out loud, not knowing that the rules had changed. For telling a friend the teacher was cute, Emanyea was suspended for sexual harassment.

Mark Curran, a seven-year-old from Boston, got into a scuffle on a school bus. He says that the other boy was choking him, so he kicked him in the groin. Officials claimed that this constituted ?inappropriate touching? and told him that he would be investigated for sexual harassment.

Lisa Rinniker, the prosecuting attorney for Grant County, Wisconsin has charged a five-year-old boy [correction: the child is now six years of age] with felonious sexual assault for allegedly ?playing doctor? with a girl his age. Another five-year-old boy who was involved wasn?t charged, and the girl herself insists that the boy didn?t do what he stands accused of doing.

After Rinniker sent the Kindergartner a summons threatening to send him to jail if he didn?t appear in court, his parents filed a lawsuit. Rinniker responded by having a judge slap the parents with a gag order.

It?s doubtful than any other police state in history has been so determined to make criminals out of innocently misbehaving children.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
