Have they banned ping-pong yet?
I’m with you...this sounds like a blast...but of course kids doing politically incorrect things must be controlled or outlawed.

First published 1981. Source of handwringing and fainting ever since.
Lee Harvey Oswald must have played this as a kid huh. /s
ARTH ping!
You could have mentioned that this pathetic, nanny-state nonsense is coming from Pleasanton, California...a suburb of San Francisco.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Yeah, I know; that crazy ball can hit speeds in excess of 50mph!
Not the same school, but same general region.
I think all of the Admins went to a meeting and brought back the same hand-wringing boilerplate to email home.
Not surprising. The left never issues individualized responses to things they get wee-wee’d up about. They always convene some sort of meeting and figure out what their “unified front” is going to look like “in the face of this dire threat.” Individual thought and action are frowned upon.
It does sound kind of fun. And reinforces the adage; “Be kind, be polite, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.”
My thoughts, exactly. It would be a lot of fun.
Yeah, and once we got older we used BB guns to reduce the “I got you/no you didn’t” dodge.
That poor HS official would get vapors if he saw what we did as kids. We would play war with B.B. guns and use firecrackers for hand grenades.
Real firearms were part of our lives. We always had them in our cars and trucks.

“We would play war with B.B. guns.”
There was a family near my house growing up; the kids went up in the hills and did that but sometimes with pellet rifles. We’re talking mid-1970’s SoCal.
I’ve met him; he’s a stand-up guy, but has to regurgitate whatever gets handed to him by “The Establishemnt”
A couple years back my neighbor calls me and says “Get your gun. There is a van full of armed dudes wearing masks in front of my house”. I looked out the front window and saw my neighbor pressed against the wall of his house with his .45 at the ready. In front of his house was, sure enough, a van with two dudes wearing masks and a couple more dudes getting out with what appeared to be carbines.
My neighbor was going to rush them.
Three squad cars flew into the scene and drew down on the dudes in the van.
They were kids playing nerf wars. And almost got there stupid f*cking heads blown off by a bunch of armed citizens and cops.
OBVIOUSLY these guys weren’t playing the same game by the same rules.
Locally, a central rule is NO PAINTED/MODDED NERF GUNS; they’ve gotta be bone-stock.
Ya paint it, yer out.
Ya mod it, yer out.
Stuff like you saw is what could happen otherwise.
Be glad the group you ran across were still using Nerf, not airsoft; lotta that hardware looks IDENTICAL to the real deal & no way to tell unless someone fires a BB or you get right up close.
Paint ball w/o the sting....and cheaper than paint ball and laser tag.....
