Mass school bans tag

http://www.boston.com/news/odd/articles/2006/10/18/not_it_mass_elementary_school_bans_tag/

Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they'll get hurt and hold the school liable.

Come on, let the kids be kids. This is yet another sign that our society is out of control. We used to play some of the roughest soccer games at recess. It was part of the joy of being young. Scraped knees and bruises are part of it. We all have our injury stories from being a kid. The real bad news is that the schools are threatened of a law suit. Damn lawsuit happy america is ruining lives of our children. I hope all the helicopter parents are happy now!
