Don't They Grow Up Quick?

An Aurora elementary school student has been suspended for three days after quoting this line from an LMFAO song: "I’m sexy and I know it."

Forms from the school indicate the [6 year old] first-grader was suspended for sexual harassment, which the school district's discipline code says has "negative affects of the learning or work of others."
Some grown-ups don't half have filthy minds, eh?

The boy little P tells me that if the same rule applied over here, all the boys in years 4, 5 and 6 at his school would have been at home playing on their Wii machines for the past couple of months.

You see, the song is more than a little popular. I wonder where that leaves the pop music stations who have been playing it dozens of times a day all over the United States, presumably they will be hauled up in front of a beak for sexually harassing all listeners 6 years old and over? Mind your playlist, BBC Radio 1.

I'd like to say that our educators aren't as daft, but I just know you lot will point to the same kind of idiocy this side of the pond. Daily Mail links don't count.

Anyway, altogether now, "Everyday I'm shufflin".
