Wow. Welcome to new extreme brought to you by P.S.A (Puritan States of America)

This is just f*cked up. I don't know what to say, really out of words on this one:

No touching allowed at Va. middle school

Hugging is now a punishable offense at one Fairfax County, Virginia, school.

Kids at Kilmer Middle School in suburban Washington D-C are under a zero-tolerance touching policy. They're banned from poking, prodding, hugging -- even high-fiving.

One 13-year-old at the school almost ended up with detention when he put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulder. He was let off with a warning.

But the telling-off was enough to prompt the teen and his parents to write a letter asking the county school board to review the rule.

School officials say that at the overcrowded school, pokes can lead to fights and handshakes can be gang-related.

The principal says school officials are allowed to use their judgment in enforcing the rule. And typically, only repeat offenders are reprimanded.

What's next? Burqas?

Banning handshakes will not curb gang activity

I can imagine it now:

Gang Leader to his underlings:
"My fellow adolescent gangstaz. Today da man has prohibited all kinds of contact. This is a lethal and final blow to our operation. We could strike back but our hands are tied. We must disband and return to our pre-gang activities. This is the end."

They should ban clocks too, those are gang related.

Private schools are worse than public schools.

No. I still stand by what I originally said. I had to attend one( in the states) for a year and it's more messed up than the regular run of the mill public school I went to. The kids are more retardedly fucked ( not as in brains but over all rebelliousness). The over strictness causes the kids to just basically wig out more than I ever noticed in my normal high school. The teachers didn't pay as much attention to the students because they thought " oh private schoolers are just fine and dandy blablabla.." er, wrong. I'd never put my kids in private school, ever. There may be good private schools that are just top notch, but as far as I have seen, experienced, and heard about it...I'll pass.

With ignorant sweeping generalizations and crap logic like that how can I argue?
