IN SOME SCHOOLS RAPISTS GET COUNSELING WHILE 6-YEAR-OLDS GO TO THE
SLAMMER
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, it is common sense, schools are under
attack. Guns, drugs, rape, even murder. Some schools are so bad they
hire police to monitor the hallways and to combat this growing
phenomenon.
Schools have clamped down all over the country, as evidenced by an
action in Lexington, NC, where the schools suspended 6-year-old
Johnathan Prevette for kissing a 6-year-old on the cheek. That is
right, Johnathan was cited for sexual harassment.
Think about it. In some schools where rapists get counseling, 6-year-
olds are getting busted. Mr. Speaker, it does not take a rocket
scientist to figure out what is going wrong in our schools, when
murderers and rapists are getting probation and counseling and 6-year-
olds are going to the slammer. Johnathan, make sure you do not hug
anybody.
I yield back the balance of my friendship that might come out of our
schools.
