[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom walked into that school meeting with a huge chip on her shoulder and an enormous sense of self importance.  Instead of listening to both sides of the story (and there are always two sides) she decided to view everyone but her daughter as guilty.

Maybe her daughter had snapped the waist band of this boy's boxers first.  [b]Maybe he thought that he was just dorking around[/b] when he snapped the girl's bra.  But we'll never know because Mama Bear came in and started using intimidation and fighting words and seemed happy that the boy's mom was disolved into tears.

In answer to the question, of course I've taught my boys to respect girls.  In fact, I've taught them to view girls as equals, friends, allies.  But they are to expect the same thing in return.  No less.

WTF?  Yeah, that's a great excuse for repeatedly grabbing a girl's undergarments despite her asking you to stop.[/quote]

Again.  Not saying that this was appropriate.  But context is important.  If this girl walked up and smacked him on the butt in the hall in a joking manner, he may have snapped her bra in return. Yes, "Dorking around".  Just like she was "Dorking around" when she smacked his butt.

If he was just sitting behind her in class and started snapping her bra and she said "Stop it" and he persisted and the teacher told HER to settle down.  Totally different scenario.

I agree. What if the boy was in kindergarten, 1st, or 2nd grade and he had watched a bunch of girls snapping each other's bras and they laughed so he thought it was funny. I am sure I hadn't even talked to my elementary school kids about bras or would have foreseen an incident like that.
