Kissing

NPR's Claudio Sanchez asks: when is a child's kiss an innocent show of affection..and when is it sexual harassment? Judging from two incidents this week, some public school officials are having a hard time telling the difference. One involved a six-year-old, the other a seven-year-old...both were suspended for kissing a classmate. The kisses illustrate the difficulty schools have with defining -- and dealing with -- the topic of harassment.
