Briefly you could see Micks belly.
But no censorship for that yet.
Pretty soon, we'll have separate beaches for males and females again
Here the males usually wear shorts when they go in the water anyway, while 
many females wear at least a T-Shirt over their top.

I'd vote for separate beaches for folks over 300lb ;-)

Here's more on the harassment and some complain on the outcry of the 
Muslims.
Seems like mankind is getting more and more ridiculous.
There must be something other than evolution or intelligent design. ;->
Both would bring something smarter than mankind.

First-grader suspended for sex harassment

Thursday, February 9, 2006; Posted: 11:23 a.m. EST (16:23 GMT) 

BROCKTON, Massachusetts. (AP) -- A 6-year-old boy is getting a lesson on 
the meaning of sexual harassment long before he'll be able to spell it.

The first-grader was suspended for three days for sexual harassment after 
he put two fingers inside a classmate's waistband, school officials told 
his mother, Berthena Dorinvil. The boy told her he only touched the girl's 
shirt after the girl touched him.

Experts say only in rare, troubling cases can children that young truly 
sexually harass one another. (Watch why the mother says she can't explain 
it to her son -- 1:27)

"The connotation is you're getting some kind of sexual gratification, or 
wanting sexual gratification, or are putting pressure on for some kind of 
sexual gratification, when a 6-year-old doesn't have that capacity," said 
E. Christopher Murray, a civil rights attorney who has handled school 
discipline cases.

Dr. Elizabeth Berger, a Philadelphia-area child psychiatrist, said this 
case seems to be an overzealous attempt to ensure students feel safe in 
school after years in which society was not attentive enough.

The boy's mother called the January 30 suspension from Downey Elementary 
School outrageous. She said she can't even explain to her son what he did 
wrong because he's too young to understand.

"He doesn't know those things," she told The Enterprise of Brockton. "He's 
only 6 years old."

Brockton school officials have not commented beyond a statement from 
Superintendent Basan Nembirkow that said sexual harassment charges are 
always investigated and officials are trained to deal with them.

The Brockton School Committee defines sexual harassment among students, in 
part, as "uninvited physical contact such as touching, hugging, patting or 
pinching."

First-graders who repeatedly touch classmates need to be disciplined and 
taught what's appropriate, said Nan Stein, a senior research scientist at 
the Center for Research on Women at Wellesley College. But don't call the 
apparent discipline problem "sexual harassment" because first-graders just 
don't get it, she said.

There have been similar cases. In 1996, a New York second-grader was 
suspended for kissing a girl and ripping a button off her skirt -- an idea 
the boy said he got from his favorite book "Corduroy," about a bear with a 
missing button. Earlier that year, a Lexington, North Carolina, 6-year-old 
was separated from his class after kissing a classmate on the cheek.
