  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.
