last i heard, if there is no mental capacity to form criminal intent, then there is no crime. also last i heard, six year olds are below the age of criminal jurisdiction in most countries that aren’t tinpot dictatorships.

the school should be sued for child abuse.

After reading this article (twice as the first time I was in shock) I still decided to comment as I have a section in Wingtips titled “Village Idiot” and I believe this applies to all officials connected with this outrage. For crying out loud.

They should immunize a smart slap across the face of the impudent wolf. These feminist noises pretextually mask aims to increase lawyer business, by lawyerizing school and workplace discipline.

A sharp rebuke to a fresh child may land the teacher and school in legal hot water for ethnic intimidation. There will always be something to pick on, to increase lawyer jobs.

Anyone taking up residence there has voluntarily surrendered the possibility of being taken seriously.

Think of it as Berkeley East.
