Yeah, I really think that most school administrators are complete and utter morons when it comes to punishment. Like for instance the incident where a kid in kindergarten got suspended for taking a toy squirt gun to school. Their rules stated "no guns" and they were trying to follow it to the letter of the law. Stupid idiots can't even make a distinction between a real gun and a toy.
But it's not just today's school administators who are stupid. I remember a few kids back in the 70's getting paddled for jumping off the stage in the gymnasium. And I myself received a swat merely for being pushed out of my chair by another kid because the rules were "no fighting." It didn't matter that I was on the receiving end and wasn't the aggressor.
But to say that children need to be suspended because of a hug is just plain idiodic. People in this country are so hyper-sensitive when it comes to sex that they think that a simple display of affection will lead to doing the nasty right there in the hallway.
