"School district officials in Arizona are defending their decision to label a 5-year-old's actions as "sexual misconduct." The Kindergartner pulled down his pants at Ashton Ranch Elementary School after another student threatened him.
the other student told Eric that if he didn't pull down his own pants, he would do it for him.
The boy then pulled down his pants and underwear and was taken to the principal's office, where school officials told him to sign a document agreeing that what he did was "sexual misconduct." Eric's only punishment was detention, but the sexual misconduct label will remain on his school record.
He was not criminally charged."
