The Pussification continues...

Serious? And people welcome this kind of nanny-state intrusion into their lives? More, bigger government anyone?



Long Island Middle School Bans Footballs, Other Recreational Items

Quote:

As CBS 2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Monday, officials at Weber Middle School in Port Washington are worried that students are getting hurt during recess. Thus, they have instituted a ban on footballs, baseballs, lacrosse balls, or anything that might hurt someone on school grounds.

Are you kidding me?

Quote:

Hard soccer balls have been banned, along with baseballs and lacrosse balls, rough games of tag, or cartwheels unless supervised by a coach.

I can't imagine how I made it through that horribly dangerous part of my life known as childhood playing with real footballs, no protective gear and Coach sitting in the staff room having coffee during recess...
