The New No-No from Nanny
*gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah*
"unsupervised chase games:” Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag,...
dodgeball [is] exclusionary and dangerous.
Celeste D’Elia, said her son feels safer because of the rule. “I’ve witnessed enough near collisions,”
Another reason cited was that in a free-for-all activity at recess, such as tag, some children would become unsuspecting, and unwilling, participants in the game.
...Teachers and others, however, are trying to redirect children from physical games to those that involve teamwork.
Interesting is the discussion between ABC and NoName in the comments:
NoName: “Another example of Politically Correct Liberalism infecting everyday life. What is next? Drugging the kids into a zombie state...oops...that is already happening”
ABC: “Sorry NoName but that is a typical load of reactonary crap. Liberalism by definition is the exact OPPOSITE of this kind of education. This is all about money, control, and CONSERVATIVE type thinking. Control the kids so they won’t get hurt and bring up lawsuits against the schools. Everyday our monocracy puts in place more controls and rules on society under the guise of ‘safety’. This has nothing to do with true liberalism, and everything to do with conservativism.”
So the Conservatives are saying, “you guys quit doing that!” But the Liberals [not Moonbats] are saying, “Us?!? It’s you guys doing that!”
Time to check around for a third element playing “Let’s You and Him Fight”?
Hmmmm.... [she said, typing aloud] I wonder what someone could hope to gain by doing that?
[NB - *clicky*s not vetted but well worth a read. I’m interested in your F/B.]
