Truer words were never said. The nightmare that is the liberal mind is truly a world of madness made.
My personal tolerance of this sort of insanity is close to zero, which is why I could never live in such a place as this.

" A family in Maynard is outraged after their 5-year-old daughter was forced to write a letter denouncing hugging after a classmate embraced her."
"NewsCenter 5's Amalia Barreda reported that Brenda Brier and Michael Marino pulled their daughter, Savannah, out of school early Wednesday. The couple was angry after a meeting with officials at the Greenmeadow Elementary School in Maynard, where Savannah is in kindergarten."
"At issue is a hug Savannah said she got on the playground from a friend named Sophie. Savannah hugged Sophie back. The hugs resulted in Savannah having to write a letter, complete with teacher corrections, that read, "I touch Sophie because she touch me and I didn't like it because she was hugging me. I didn't like when she hugged me."
"She said, 'I'm really sad that I got in trouble for hugging,'" Brier said."

This is insane
It is a dark day indeed, when a little girl can't hug her friend on the playground.
Anybody seen Common Sense lately? I heard a rumor that it was last seen lying bloodied in a gutter somewhere as folks just kept walking by.
Damn, my daughter would have been kicked out of school a long time ago, she's a hug freak.
Absolutely one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Truly Orwellian.

Sounds like another person with a degree in Elementary education that is simply too stupid to be allowed around children...ever.
Sick. Absolutely sick.
Obituary
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on, if not you can give him a second death.
Who made the complaint here? Was it the other girl or the teacher? It's not really clear from the story.
Utter freaking madness. Such breathtaking imbecility can only be concocted in the diseased minds of mutant lefties.
"There should of been no touching." Cynthia McKinney
First thing I sk for when I see my Grandkids is a hug. I guess the PC freaks will be coming after me soon.
this is one of the most ridiculous things I have read for a while. Am I surprised? Nothing surprises me any more.
Friggin teachers have gone stark raving mad.
Public schools are evil.
this is dumb, when i was in elementry and Jr. High school girls hugged all the time.
They'd better hope no teacher-student affairs are uncovered in that district.
