Wussification continues.

They already have the kids.

[Dr. Sivana]

They can use pool noodles

[JimSEA]

Don’t they have a track and field team. How about those javelins? For that matter the discus and shot are clearly weapons as well.

[VR-21]

My high school had a rifle team. The ROTC cadets drilled with M1 Garands. God what has happened to this country?

[Red Badger]

Hey they might put someone’s eye out!.................

bureaucracy; has always been a bulwark for mediocrity/
mental laziness..(official) stupidity, so it's no surprise.

[Liberty Valance]

What? No swords for fencing?

>>There’s no room for sanity or common sense. No one says, “This is ridiculous. We shouldn’t do it.” Instead they go right back to the manual without even bothering to listen.

Worse yet, some read the rules and agree that it IS insanity, but then say, “But a rule is a rule.” These are the people who will do anything, as long as someone in authority tells them to. The group you mention are useful idiots, but the ones I’m talking about are truly dangerous.

Not a lethal weapon...I can tell you that the weapons involved are to actual blades as cap guns are to rifles.

True, but I bet the college has banned cap guns too.

[ExCTCitizen]

Fencing teams can’t use their weapon? What should they use? A light sabre?

When western civilization (both in Europe, and here) collapses -- and it will -- and the realities of kill-or-be-killed occurs in the savaged remnants of our towns and cities, my only hope is that we take out of it these important lessons:

1) Men are men. Women are women. Men are strong, women are not.

2) Weapons training is essential to survival, and many sports are merely weapons training.

3) Gay people: Sit over there and STFU. Be grateful we don't kill you on the spot.
