Yes, because hugging could lead to sex. |

The director is right. Want to hug, kiss? Do it on your privacy. |
| Inke_Swirle #1176246 3 months ago |
I have to wonder if any of the kids would actually care. 11-14 year olds usually don't give much of a shit about hugging. |

"On my privacy"?
Jesus Christ, buy me dinner first. |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1176249 3 months ago |
I don't know how to feel about that. PDAs probably have no place in school but hugs can be totally innocent.
I don't know what I would do if I were principal. |

and someone managed to kill themselves by falling off a pier because they were texting while walking |

They didn't actually die. Which to be honest is kinda sad. |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1176263 3 months ago |
^It's sad that someone didn't die? |
| Shaky #1176265 3 months ago |
Sad in the sense that they reported on it.
Also, did Kim Kardashian getting flour on her really deserve 2 news links? |

I like how it says "keeps working." What "job" does Kim do? |
| Shaky #1176278 3 months ago |
Being famous for being famous is apparently a job now. |
| ProfessorOfHoers #1176282 3 months ago |
Maybe it's getting sham married for profit. Is that a job? |

At least she doesn't do things to try and justify why she is a 'celebrity'. Like, she didn't attempt a half-assed acting or singing career like Paris Hilton did. |
| Shaky #1176304 3 months ago |
Nah 291, they don't have time for that, they're gotta report on the hard hitting news like the release of The Hunger Games, Kim getting flour on her and teens not being aloud to hug. |
| Saufsoldat #1176321 3 months ago |
I'd start hugging even more people, just to spite that retarded principal. Is he Japanese or something? |

Ah, New Jersey. Well, if there's one thing they can brag about, it's that at least they're not Florida. |

Frequently stories like this are retold for the shock value, when a few minutes' more careful consideration would make it obvious that the principal didn't randomly go crazy and ban hugging on a lark.
Kids like to push boundaries. A meme for claiming "But we were just hugging" and engaging in inappropriate touching is something that could get a foothold in a school culture, and then the principal has a responsibility to stamp it out. It's not a rule they're proposing for other schools, and it may not even last after the next couple of classes graduate. They're not even being punitive, as it says in the text; they're making it a rule, which means they're establishing it as a norm and giving teachers the right to stop something that seems to be approaching inappropriateness. People don't tend to make up rules for no reason, despite the myth that bureaucracy grows due to bureaucracy fairies that sneak in at night and switch rulebooks for bigger ones. |

there's weirder laws out there. One that cracks me up is something about shooting at a whale while horseback riding.
All these silly laws and rules do is to keep these law- and rule-makers employed. They'd get sacked if they're not making any new laws. |

While that may sound ridiculous at first glance, Everything has a reason. On another subject, I've heard things that are more ridiculous like "Horses are forbidden from eating fire hydrants in this place listed here" but I have to wonder, Did I read a joke list? |
