Two eleven year old boys in the cafeteria. Eric steals John's banana.

John: Give me back my banana.
Eric: Sure, I'll stick it up your ass.

John then goes and complains to the teacher on lunch duty. Who then brings the boys to the principal's office, saying that Eric threatened to sodomize John with a banana. The principal suspends Eric for "threatening to rape another student." She doesn't have much of a choice, the sexual harrassment policy dictates suspension in cases involving threatened or attempted rape.

So here's my question. Just two kids playing harmlessly? Or is are the boys learning an important lesson that rape is not something to joke about? Is the punishment in proportion to the crime?

Maybe he thought that John would consent to the banana up the ass.

It may be sexual harassment, but not a rape threat.

Wow, a double-post of a whole topic. Don't see this all the time [Smile] Hey Grad, you can delete this one if you want. It's the more useless of the two.
