Emanyea Lockett, 9, was suspended for calling a teacher “cute,” his mother says.

After a substitute teacher overheard 9-year-old Emanyea tell another student a teacher was ‘cute,’ school officials put him on two-day suspension for sexual harassment.

The school’s code of conduct doesn’t list sexual harassment, but does mention possession of any gun, rifle, pistol, firearm, prohibited substance or assault of a school employee as grounds for long-term suspension.
