“They say it leads to other kids feeling excluded and reminded they were not included in the festivities.”

By all means let’s not teach kids how to deal with life.

“We are getting aggravated.”
“Yes, we are.”

Nanny State PING!

Bonus points if you know which movie those quotes are from.

This is just SO stupid.

People have parties.
Not everyone is invited.
So the others have their parties.
Not everyone is invited.
So some more people have parties.
Not everyone is invited.
Twas ever thus.

This is what happens when you close all the ‘nut houses’ and let the patients back on the streets.

Guess what, school administrators: the little darlings are going to be excluded from MANY things during their lives. They won’t qualify for jobs they may want, they won’t always get what they want for christmas, they won’t always get the grades they THINK they deserve. This self-esteem crap is revolting!

Well, this line of ‘thinking’ just eliminated all sports teams, bands, beta clubs, cheerleading squads, glee clubs, etc., etc., and any other school organizations which have some standard of performance or achievement as prerequisites to ‘inclusion’.

Now how can we have sports teams when those who can’t make the starting lineups will feel ‘excluded’ and left out. And glee clubs that ‘exclude’ those who can’t sing a note?

And how can we have school principals and school boards when those who weren’t selected/elected for those positions will feel ‘excluded’ and left out?

This is new to me. Are kids throwing birthday and other parties at which they hand out apparel with their name on it as commemorative swag?

[FourPeas]

On many Monday mornings, students stream into the building, and other students begin to notice that they are not among a particular group. There is a group (or groups) of students who are wearing the same colorful article of clothing - a t-shirt, sweatshirt, sweatpants or leggings. Upon closer inspection, you can see the name of a student clearly labeled on the clothing honoring a celebration that took place over the weekend. While the students wearing the labeled clothing are all chatting excitedly about their weekend experiences, the students who aren't wearing the clothing tend to walk by, trying not to take notice while being reminded that they were not included in the festivities.

THIS is the problem? How pathetic.

My kids all went to Newton schools and now some grandchildren do.

They’ll survive this ban.

So are we also gonna make parents remove those “My kid is a straight-A student at So-And-So Elementary School?”
