No playing tag in MA schools.
Lame.

Yeah, saw that one yesterday. I didn't even know where to begin commenting on the idocy, so I didn't post it.

Officials at McCarthy Elementary School in Framingham in the northeastern state, told local media that children have been ordered to invent a new no-contact version of the game for safety reasons.
Ordered to do the impossible. That should work out well.

Sweet, laser tag!

Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone loses a retina.

How about this:

One child is selected to be "it". This player will be known as the principal. He or she will stuff their ears with cotton, blindfold themselves, and repeat over and over, "But you're safe now" in as loud a voice as possible.

All the other children will run in circles around "the principal" and shout out helpful suggestions such as "Exercise is good for you", and "we want to develop coordination".

If the "principal" actually hears any of these comments, then he or she loses the game and a new "principal" is selected.

Perfect! :)

I heard they especially wanted to ban freeze tag for fear of kids getting hypothermia.

Wow! This one has got it all! I hope all our senators and congress men/woman are paying attention. They should be able to knock out a whole boatload of our freedoms in the name of safety on this one case alone.

Just look at all the issues they could legislate on:

Cell phones
Text messages
Underage drivers
seat belts
car safety
gay rights
parent responsibility
and on and on.....


What a field day.
