Principals of today are nothing like they were. I had a run in with a high school principal 10 years ago and told my sister-in-law what a jackass he was. My sister-in-law is an English professor and she told me there were actually classes in how to be a jackass for school principals and other staff. Of course they don’t call the classes jackass 101 and such, but those classes are where these people get all these crazy ideas. No dodge ball, no tag, slides and swings are much too dangerous, even a finger pointed is the same as a firearm- and for sure no fingernail clippers at school- and even young children have to worry about sexual harrassment and sexual assault. Amazing how we all made it through school without all this “protection” and concern.
Jan Brewer will be getting a visit from the Secret Service.
There was a case, I think in NJ, where the little boy brought a WWII bullet to school that he had received from a Veteran and was suspended. Boys are being made to feel like they are doing something wrong for being boys. The assault against them is intentional. I remember the "slap butt" incident a few years back where they turned two young boys into sexual predators. Even some FReepers were labeling them as such.

,p>So true....I used to live a block from my school... my friend and I used to jump the fence to go home for lunch...we used to ride our bikes to school without helmets. One time in the winter....I took my snowmobile to school (I was a 5th grader). Today... if you took a snowmobile to school...your parents might be arrested for letting you have one!!
