I think the problem starts far earlier than college... Imagine a 1st grader who brings a butterknife to school - zero tolerance policy kicks in, and you have a far too impactful outcome. When I was in kindergarden, I kissed a girl in the closet. I wonder how that would go over today. Technology plays a role, but just in general, society's handling of incidents is too extreme these days.

  Can we please not do whatever this is? It's definitely not substantive. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    I believe it was meant to be sarcasm, just not very fitting.

You are fine. One of my co worker's kids was licked in kindergarden by another kid. Nobody made a big deal out of it.

Depending on the jurisdiction, that could be a registerable sex offense. And the offense record won't say "Billy kissed a girl when he was in kindergarten", it'll say "INDCNCY W/ MINOR, VICTIM UNDER 12".
