6-YO boy excluded from class on say-so of girl

News.com.au reports here on a story in Australia, where a 6-year-old boy has been excluded from his class after a girl he sat next to accused him of saying bad things and inappropriate touching. The boy denies it ever happened, but (of course) his denial counts for zip and he's been thrown out of class and can only return to school if he joins a new class, leaving all his mates behind.

It's interesting to see how the complete faith in womens/girls accusations has gone right down to the school and even pre-school level, with 'evidence' being an inconvenient and unnecessary distraction.

QUOTE: "In effect, Jonathan is being penalised and 'made to feel guilty' for acts which he denies occurred and for which there is no evidence other than the unsubstantiated allegations of the girl," the letter said.

Even if if DID do something inappropriate, surely you'd think some re-education and a new seat in the classroom would be more appropriate. But excluding him from his mates and teacher and shifting him into a new class, with the stigma of what he'd been accused of stuck to him like glue for the rest of his years at that school..? Man, I weep for my sons....
