Mommy, Billy touched me!
A Boston school has banned tag.
Because they were afraid of being sued.
Are kids getting hurt so badly playing TAG that parents are actually suing?
Positive liberty in action. These kids are now free to not be hurt.

That's absurd.
Ew. Sorry, that's it. We're not moving to Massachusettes.
So, in the video, did you notice the metal climbing dome and the scary looking wooden jungle gym, neither of which were padded or placed over soft ground? And they're fuckin' worried about contact sports? Hell, one of the kids could trip on his own feet and faceplant into the metal bars or the big ass logs. That would hurt them too. I guess another group just validated my pre-existing hatred for them.

A coworker of mine told me once that instead of Tug o' War, kids now have Tug o' Peace. They help each other up. It's supposed to foster a cohesive spirt and eliminate mean competition.
