Let me be clearer, I receive on the tongue when attending Novus Ordo parishes, but in CCD classes they instruct them the "way" we do it is in the hand.

My kids get Daddy's CCD class, which is a little more complete, and I verify the basics of the faith.

"When you get communion what are you eating?"
My kids know the correct answer, on their tongues (a pun) in in their hearts! (By the grace of God)

Here is what our Holy Father says about kneeling in his book, "The Spirit of the Liturgy." (Ignatius Press, 2000)

“Worship is one of those fundamental acts that affect the whole man. That is why bending the knee before the presence of the living God is something we cannot abandon…. THE INABILITY TO KNEEL IS SEEN AS THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE DIABOLICAL ….The man who learns to believe learns also to kneel, and a faith or liturgy no longer familiar with kneeling would be sick at the core. Where it has been lost, kneeling must be rediscovered, so that, in our prayer, we remain in fellowship with the apostles and martyrs, in fellowship with the whole cosmos, indeed in union with Jesus Christ Himself.” (Emphasis mine.)

What does this say about priests and bishops who refuse to allow or make it difficult for communicants to kneel while receiving Holy Communion?

As it should be :)
