They've done it again. Lawsuits always seem to ensue. Recent news. Several schools in the US, after hearing of British school conduct and restrictions, decided to pick up on a new law that will definately put a squeeze on American schools. They've gone from banning physical education, to a more ridiculous feat... hugs. Yes, hugs are now banned in several schools. And to make things worse, it's spreading. This may catch on in many public school systems. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21097673/

If I had a son, I'd want to know if he was hugging or kissing a girl at school. So I could high-five him and take him with me to a strip club when he got home.

i was actually just reading about this today.
its very interesting, i personally think its a bad idea, but it has some downpoints. theres a "no toutching ban" aswell, no hand shakes, nothing.
the hugging ban is a diffrent story
its rediculious, hugging is a good thing, it in no way poses a threat.

XD This has gone way too far. Sure schools discourage "public displays of affection" but come on. And it's not like this is going to stop anyone, and the chances of a teacher actually punishing someone for hugging seems pretty slim.

Aww come on, hugs are bad medicine? What?! Scared of spreading SARS or what?! That is making me sick of hearing those.
Are the Americans are now trying to be like the Asians? Where hugs are not seen in schools at all, really, when I was a student, we don't do hugs there or even kissing in public, it's embarassing.

I wonder what'll happen to 'hugs not drugs'. Rugs? Bugs? Thugs? All of those could end up with you being rolled up, stung/bit, or... beaten to the ground...
Either way, this is generally a stupid idea, especially in something like high schools. I don't have any extra comments, so I just think this isn't smart, and that's the end of that.

Oh yes, they've banned it from my school as well. Right now, the penalty for "public display of affection" is detention!! What a bunch of retards. This ticked me off very much, even though I don't even have a boyfriend or whatever you'd call it. I hug my friends though. Most of the teachers at my school enforce this rule, except for one who just yells something embarassing at you ("You're swallowing her tongue! She needs that!"). I still think it's very retarded. Say your friend is crying and needs comforting and you don't know what to say. What do you do? High-five her? I mean, come on! How thick can these people get?

Doesn't surprise me the slightest that this is happening. I mean, cause there's a lot of things that are going around, people getting the wrong idea, etc, etc.
I hug my friends all the time. It's a load of bull, that's all I can say. And if my school gets it, I'm rebelling and going to the principal. Mwhaa. >:D

It's just ... pathetic. I mean, how can you actually get a sickness from hugging someone? Well, okay, you can get the flu or something, more of the common sickness. But how the hell can we get STD or AIDS from hugs in school? It's not like you're going to be naked and hug someone. And as for the parents caring? What the effing hell? It's just a damn hug! You're not going to die from a hug.
