I don't get it

This story this morning is making me shake my head. A first grader is suspended from school for three days for sexual harassment? What is this world coming to? Does a 6 year old know what sexual harassment is? The boy's mother said to reporters that he had told her the girl touched him first so he touched her back. Did I miss something? Oh wait I think I figured it out. The news interviewed the mother and lo and behold, she's black! I sense the race card being dealt on this one and probably justifiably so.
