Kids can't give a friend a hug

Tweet

If your friend is feeling upset or hurting about something and your in school in certain states in the USA you had better not give him or her a hug out of sympathy or you could get detention or suspension! * There is a complete ban on all physical contact in some schools. That includes touching hands, hugging, kissing. Even the briefest contact. * Some parents are up in arms as some schools are quite militant in enforcement, taking the ban after school hours or local. This and the metal detectors, locker searches, windowless classrooms, cameras, and armed guards are making schools more like prisons than campuses for some parent's taste. * Google resulted in the following stories on this issue~ * http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Nlp&q=student+hug+ban+controversy&btnG=Search
