School Bans Hugs Over 2 Seconds
 

MESA, Ariz. -- A school policy banning student hugging prompted dozens of east Valley students to protest with a giant group hug across the street from campus.

"I think it's ridiculous," said Chelsea Branham, a 14-year-old student at Shepherd Junior High School in east Mesa.

Branham said she got detention this week for hugging her friend after school.

The "no-hugging" rule had previously been in the student handbook. After many students began expressing concern about public hugging and kissing in the hallways, the school began reinforcing the guideline by punishing huggers, which led to Friday's protest.

Schools have liabilities, and can get sued if a student claims that they were sexually harassed and authorities weren't there to stop it. Idiots paved the way for this over the last twenty years.

Halcyon needs to visit them

Actually we have a guy who stands in Montreal central all day with a sign saying free huggs and thats what he does gives huggs ,he makes money from people throwing loose change in his box.:)

This is definitely not what the kids should be worrying about at school :Oh crap

you know how it is, the more you say "DON'T!" the more they will do it anyway.

Hugging could cause severe emotional damage!

She can always hug my cock.

America : the laughing stock of the world :thumbsup

If nobody says "don't" then people will "do".
