Give me a break!!!!
My second rant of the day concerns a 13 year old girl in downstate Illinois who was given detention for hugging a friend. Are you high? Whats the matter superintendant didn't you get hugged as a child and now you feel you need to punish others for outward signs of affection. The school edict states that outward signs of affection will not be allowed. It's not like she was sucking face or fornicating in the locker room. I am beginning to get really irritated at these bureaucrats that warm a chair with their butts and make up ridiculous laws but don't pay the teachers enough so that they have to strike. It's OK if you wear a baseball cap sideways and flash gang signs because it would be politically incorrect to confront them as this is their thing. It's OK if they wear jeans with holes every where and their boxers popping out the top because they're just children expressing themselves. Oh but hey it's OK that the coach cops a feel in gymnastics because it's a hands on sport.Things can be ethically and morally wrong but there politically correct. Punish the kids with weapons, drugs, gang banger slogans; question the kids that are wearing a trench coat when it 90 degrees outside but lay off the hugging. This was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard lately. Give the girl a break. Dad says quite frankly,"Kiss My Ass" to that school district.

This is ridiculous, dad. I agree. But you also seem to have a very strange view of discipline in schools. It's certainly not considered politically incorrect to punish kids for dress code violations, sexual behavior in school, and gang clothing/signs. Even at LT, kids were in trouble all the time for those kinds of things, sometimes to an extreme. I don't know what gives you the impression that these other serious infractions are ignored.
