The end of the world has to be coming......soon.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What about “frozen” tag? That’s a little safer < /S >

The end of the world has to be coming......soon.

My sentiments exactly.

[Jeff Head]

PC irrationality gone even further amuck.

[Westlander]

We used rocks when I was a kid.

Running games are still OK, she said, as long as students don’t run after one another.

Oh brother! "Have your people fax my people!"

[alisasny]

Pretty soon the MAY POLE WILL BE BACK.

Do any of you remember that. We used to have to make ourselves a hat and dance around a pole holding a piece of ribbon to unite with our communist brethren.

I had no idea about the communist tilt until adulthood and wondered why it vanished.

What a bunch of wimps. Sure, it is okay to punish them by not allowing them to play the game for a couple of days. But, banning it is ridiculous.

Besides, it is an opportunity to teach the kids self control — be good and we will allow you to play the game, be bad and we will take it away for a couple of days.

These are elementary kids.

And the the food police complain because children are over weight. How the hell can they maintain an average weight if they can not excercise you idiots??

So, I guess football and basketball are out...?

May Day, and dancing around the Maypole go back a lot further than communism. They were stolen by the commies. It's a shame.

[vetsvette]

The latest in the “feminization of America.”

It won’t be long before we have school uniforms — unisex - skirts for both boys and girls.

[econjack]

Oh, golly gee...let’s not subject them to something they don’t like. After all, in the real world, you always get your way.

[lastchance]

It would be a rather piss poor teacher when I was in school who could not handle an elementary school playground squabble.

[the_Watchman]

Educators used to understand that the playground was where students learned conflict resolution.

Fesgen said she would hear: “Well, I don’t want to be chased, but he won’t stop chasing me, or she won’t stop chasing me.”

Let me see, if you don't want to be chased you don't run. Too simple for educated minds, I guess.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

I sure am glad playing tag's been banned. I don't like being chased. What all that running around good for anyhow?

[headsonpikes]

Hey, kids!

Since they won’t let you play tag with your classmates, I suggest you play murder-ball with the administrators - use rocks if no balls are handy.

[jwh_Denver]

ExCalifornian’s are doing their best to ruin this once conservative state.

In other news, America is more obese than ever...........
