Washington School Bans Halo 2 Tournament
Pluvius writes "A couple of high-school students in the Washington city of Puyallup wanted to raise money for the tsunami disaster in South Asia, and figured that the best way to do so was to hold a tournament using Bungie's hit XBox title Halo 2. Their school district disagreed, citing an anti-violence policy. Even though all of the parents of the children who would've taken part in the tournament signed waivers acknowledging the game's violence, Puyallup School District felt that due to school shootings across the country, 'anything we do that even looks like we're endorsing violence is not appropriate.'"
Booooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinggggg ggggg!
No seriously, how is this news? This happens all the time, like when my school tried to fundraise for our robotics team. That certainly didn't make slashdot.

The Boy Scouts have done more good for the world, through millions of boys given a better life and taught to be good citizens both of their nations and world, than the American Criminal Liberties Union ever has.
The fact that someone attacked them for sticking by a moral position is just disgusting.
In Conclusion,
Fuck You.
