Did I hear it right a Dallas School district has banned hugging and holding hand?

They did it the principal said to ensure no sexual harasment. I never thought when I had to hold hands with a girl back in kindergarten that one of us was being sexually harrassed. Or that when you hug someone after not seeing them over the summer would lead to charges. Does anyone know more on this or which area school it was?

    Yes, I heared that earlier. I can't believe how strict some institutions are becoming. Pretty soon, we'll have to live in individual bubbles, that way people can be sure they won't "sexually harass" someone. Maybe in the future, we will ban food, because it's all bad for us. Then, we won't be able to get married, because it makes things too stressful, and so on and so forth.

    I had heard this, but didn't know where the school was.

    And people wonder why home schooling is becoming more and more popular --- well here's another example of why.

    Crap like this (and I would like to use stronger language than "crap") is what is ruining the education system in this country --- among other things.

    Now days kids practically Fvck in school in the halls. They are using sexual harassment as an excuse to get the horny little pigs to straighten up.

    yeah thats been happening in many places.

    most physical contact is banned, and a teacher can't touch her students.

    i got hugged by teachers in kindergarten.

    i guess the government states that i was sexually and physically abused.

    who knew?

    some louisiana schools banned "excessive" tickling.

    it supposedly can lead to bruising and is treated as bullying.

    no one enforces it.
