Massachusetts elementary school principal bans tag and touch football

More of the liberal educator agenda of trying to make boys act like girls.

And that's a bad thing? Did your Dad smack you around for crying? Was cooperation considered being 'sissy'? Poisonous pedagogy.

Boys like to run around and play physical games. They don't want to sit and play with dolls and is that what your dad made you do? LOL

Well, my daughter loved to play baseball when she was younger and she has a pretty good arm for throwing the football...where did I go wrong? Perhaps you've got a more narrow view of how boys and girls should behave? Jinky was told she laughs too loud by some of her older relatives ...that she should be more demure or she'd never get a boyfriend. Again, I say it's all poisonous pedagogy. Just let people be themselves...there's no definitive way boys and girls behave, in my opinion.

p.s. I played with GI Joe's as a kid...so yeah, I played with dolls. But I also played sports...what does that make me?

I beat the HE#L out of my GI JOES,and cut the hair off my sisters barbies to look like GI JOE! She was Pissed!

Barbie was always ####### my GI Joe in the back of her van. She was a real nympho.

Has anybody heard of the game smear the #######? it was a pretty rough game but lots of fun! hope I didn't upset anybodies sensibilities this game was around before political correctness was born.

I think now it is pitch-up and smear. Everything is becoming less of what it was, and more of what it can't be. Man if mom and dad sued ecrytime I came home with a nick or bruise in elementry school, we would be like the riches folks ever.

We are freakin outa control and lawsuit happy. before ya know it... kids will have to goto school in the stay puff marshmallow man suit to keep from gettin a bruise or bump gettin in and off a bus.

I wouldn't blame litigation but spineless school administrators who are so afraid of litigation. As long as they take reasonable steps to ensure kids are fairly safe, they shouldn't worry. I'd be curious to know how many schools have been sued by parents from their kids playing rough and getting hurt. Litigation should be about gross negligence and not about making a school hurt proof for the child.

Holy sh!t, I agree with Steven. It's official.
