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.
