A few years ago, I was in a music store when two youngsters - I'm guessing less than ten years old - started marching around the store singing a line from Sir Mixalot's "Baby Got Back": "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, honey!"

I suppose they'd arrest everyone in earshot today.

Stupidity appears to propagate.

The song lyrics are used in an M&M commercial for goodness sake (premiered during the Super Bowl). Just another zero tolerance policy that completely removes common sense and judgement by adults with whom our children spend most of their waking hours. How nice!

He probably was mimicking the M&M. I thought the same thing.

That song is all over the radio. My dd doesn't watch videos and knows that song. This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

The only way the school system will learn and this insanity will stop:

Jack the principal up against the wall and put a bullet in her brain.

Brian, buying her a bullet to put in her veejayjay might also do the trick

What this further shows is the inability of the public education environment to actually TEACH! If the school believed this was offensive, then the better thing to do was use this as a teachable moment for the child and possibly the class.

When I was teaching (thankfully in a private school where we had so much more discretion), children said things that were inappropriate. It was simple to handle the situation: "Johnny, I know you might have heard that song on TV/Radio/whatever, but we it is not a good choice to sing in the classroom around our friends." For a first grader, this is plenty.

Suspension should be reserved for very serious issues...and sorry...this isn't it...

I think the more important question is, did he do his little turn on the catwalk? If so, thats totally sexual harassment.
