US: Hugging outlawed. What's next?

I blame the lame Zero Tolerance Act..Pathetic and egregiously unfair

Thats pretty sad. Our school almost enforces that but not that strict.. only in trouble for PDA like kissing and inappropriate touching

 

Hahah, I would be suspended like every other day.

Everyone hugs each other at my school. The guys greet each other by punching each other, girls hug, couples all hold hands, everyone gives high fives, etc... Lots of unnecessary making out does go on though, lol.

But that's seriously one of the stupidest rules ever. I understand where they're coming from, and what they're trying to prevent, but they took it way too far and it's just going to make things worse, I think.

 

Meh, I just hate the whole idea. The utilitarian policy assumption is that inflexibility is a deterrent because, no matter how or why the rule was broken, the fact that the rule was broken is the basis for the imposition of the penalty. They think its a behavior modification strategy :s I think especially the enforcement of little children (1st grade) is nothing short of pathetic.

 

That's a bit fucked up if you ask me. At my school the even the teachers hug everyone. I don't think we can hold hands or anything, but hand-shakes and high fives are ok. That rule just goes too far.

 

agreed

 

we have a 30 cm rule at our school between Males and Females
It Stinks A whell What the teachers don't know wont hurt them

 

I think their just jealous cuz they never got any action/had friends/ was in a gang

 

^ lol

 

and why would they want to be in a gang?

 

So when do we start the Anti-Sex League and the Thought Police and turn the world into a place like in 1984?

HAIL BIG BROTHER!!!
HAIL BIG BROTHER!!!
HAIL COMRADES!!!

 

Same at my school.

 

Vienna is around 20 minutes from where i live, thats weird. That rule is crazy, i would leave that school if i went there.

 

I like the rule, personally. For many reasons, but I doubt anyone cares... so no need to elaborate.
But it seems like a completely unnecessary rule.

 

Yeah alot of schools seam to be doing shit like this now and could someone explain a reason behind this cause I still can't find a good one that makes sence or isnt something unlikely to happen.

 

At my school your not allowed to kiss hold hands etc, girls arent even allowed to walk round with linked arms, strange if u ask me, do teachers want us growing up like lifless robots or sometihng?. maybe people make rules like dat becoz dey werent loved enough as a child, or havent kissed some1 of the opposite sex before or something. beats me, either way i tihnk peeps should have the freedom to hug,kiss, hold hands etc, no matter where they are, aslong as it aint to overborad.

 

Why would'nt you want to be in a gang?

 

and that is one of the reasons why I think America is a stupid country!

 

i'd make out with my girlfriend in front of the principal XD

 

FYI, America is the only country with freedom of speech, if u said this in France, there goes ur head.
