"Tag" Banned In Schools

[mgidm86]

The childhood game of tag has been banned by a school in Washington state, as well as some other schools around the country. Link to video, can't find a text version...

A 3rd grade student made a petition, got 48 signatures from students and submitted it to the principal. The petition stated that perhaps any students playing too rough should be disciplined, rather than banning the game altogether. He should join the JREF. The principal said no.

Also, according to this report, football is allowed to be played, but students are not allowed to run! They may, however, throw the ball.

Wow. Gawd I wanna slap someone so bad. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

PS: how the heck can I shorten these links?

Y'know, if they just banned school none of this would be a problem.

I agree! Where were you when I was in junior high? I'm sure my buddies would have rallied behind you on that one too.

H3LL...Thanks for the URL/link tip. The old BB had a way to do it without typing any code, and you definitely didn't need to go to another site. Hmm.

The link plays a 30 sec commercial first btw.

What is it with these people? When will the pendulum begin swinging back the other direction? Is it stuck?

I wonder if the kids will sue the school when they grow up obese?
