Elementary School Bans Students From Touching Each Other

theshowmecanuck writes "A school in British Columbia (the province that now even California can call flakey) has just banned elementary school students from touching each other during recess. You know, one of those times for play and more importantly learning how to socialize (which itself includes touching). CTV News reports: 'A ban on touching during recess at a B.C. elementary school has shocked parents, who call the new no-touch policy "ridiculous." For most kids, recess is a chance to run around and goof-off with their friends, but a new ban on touching at a school in Aldergrove could put a damper on playtime. School administrators at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School in B.C. have banned kindergarten students from touching each other during recess.'"

    Its not about kids safety, it's about stigmatizing guns and gun owners

    Don't take it personally, inbred losers that deep-dyed will go after anything that gets them attention.

    As always, all IMO. Insert "I think" everywhere grammatically possible.
