RSSSchool Bans Hugging – Spotlight
Well, in the wonderful age of political correctness, now hugging is banned in an Iowa City, Iowa middle school. The stated reason is that it is impeding foot traffic through the hallways because of too many group hugs.
Do you ever get the feeling that these administrators have a bit too much time on their hands?
School officials at Southeast Junior High School banned the popular act of affection because girls would hug in groups and stop the flow of traffic during passing periods.
Principal Deb Wretman said they have now instituted a strict hands-off or handshake policy at the Iowa City school. She said it’s safe and efficient.
“The reason that we have the hands-off handshakes is really a, ‘Lets move through the halls during passing time, do it safely and efficiently,’” Wretman said. via Local 6 .

There are idiots everywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of them end up in school systems.
Whow Wee Ka Zowie!!!!!!
Since when do we need a
spotlight for hugging
anyway?
Besides, it’s better
in the dark…!?!?!?
Seriously, folks… the spotlight has been on for way
too long.
We expect our kids to love and care about eachother.
We teach them to be a part of the team and to watch
over and protect one another; and then ban they’re
hugging???
I think I need a hug!?!?!?!?!
the hugging sure beats the hell out of students fighting, cutting, and shooting each other.

Let’s create a little more work for the school officials, how about they all take mandantory IQ test’s. Is it now wonder that some children grow up with no values, you cannot have values with out love.
HEY TEACHERS, LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE.
