Kids need to stop moving, period. They could get hurt. And why are so many of them fat. Makes no sense. /s

In the name of safety, a number of schools are prohibiting their students at recess from playing traditional games like tag or soccer, claiming that too many children were getting hurt by aggressive play.
No wonder boys grow up into wussified metrosexual pansies.

Several years ago I stubbed my toe when I was doing something (I forget what).
Why isn't there a law? Who can I sue?

Have you seen those playgrounds with signs that say "No running allowed on the premises"? IMO tag should be allowed - as long as they wear a helmut. /sarc

Back in 1963, they banned the game *igger Pile from my school playground. It was probably a good move.

I am now 21, but I was raised with dodge ball here in NJ. They banned that great game shortly after Columbine. Some parents complained that they did not want their children to be "targets". It's too bad, I really loved playing that, even through high school.

And many of these people who want to ban tag don't want to ban partial-birth abortion!

I heard of a school banning tag as it was in violation of their zero tolerance no touching each other policy. Really.

Banning tag is stupid. Teatherball, however, should be banned immediately!!!!!
To: Millee
When I was in elementary school they would periodically not let us play one sport or another because everyone would get too rough. Generally if Football was banned everyone played soccer until we got too rough in that and went back to football which was legal again.
