I'm not seeing any reference to this on their website at the moment...perhaps it's been removed in an effort at damage control?

Callington Community College

I'm assuming this refers to hugs from the front, not the back, if you know what I mean?

[SolidWood]

This may sound paranoid, but what are the chances that some Muslims have their hands in this?

[proudofthesouth]

Barmy rule is right!

[Mr. Mojo]

“To avoid putting anyone at risk...."

At risk for what, cooties?

[Stoat]

I'm assuming this refers to hugs from the front, not the back, if you know what I mean?

Yes, I'm guessing that a hug from the back would be regarded as a full-blown sex crime.

"Some have had detentions for hugging.”

PDAs were banned when I was in high school in the 70's. We survived.

I hope they throw "t*tty whistles", noogies and wedgies in with this ban also.

If she sexual revolution hadn't sent Wesetern culture into the depths of moral decay in the first, people wouldn't have to worry about this kind of stuff.

[SIDENET]

THAT WAS NOT THE PIC I POSTED!

[marsh_of_mists]

she=the, although the feminists did have a major hand in it.

[Stoat]

This may sound paranoid, but what are the chances that some Muslims have their hands in this?

Considering other things that are going on, I don't view it as paranoid at all.

Callington College students, parents, teachers and faculty are encouraged to join the discussion and provide insights into this.

[Mr. Mojo]

Damn, I sure hope not. I wonder how that happened?

[rovenstinez]

Here in Mexico, we get a lot of hugs. I think this article is very amusing.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I was wondering why you were posting a school portrait of someone over on the DUmpster website.

[digger48]

And I thought the picture of Bill and Hillary dancing on the beach was the worst I'd seen......

Hey, if you want to go the Community College, you obey the rules, otherwise you might get detention. I dare you to find a Community College in this country that has detention. "You can't have your pudding unless you eat your meat".

[Flavius]

if your living in free society how would you know it

[benjaminjjones]

Yeah, well, somebody's got some 'splainin ta do. That was just about the most vile thing I've ever seen.
