MASCOUTAH, Ill. - Two hugs equals two days of detention for 13-year-old Megan Coulter. The eighth-grader was punished for violating a school policy banning public displays of affection when she hugged two friends Friday.

Illinois!? Goddammit. This country makes me physically ill with all the extreme PC bullshit flying around and the way we are pussifying our children and crippling their natural development into adults. These PC bumblefucks claim to want to help kids yet they continually think of ways to fuck them up. Heaven forbid little Jimmy should get a hug from Sally because then Jimmy might get the crazy idea that he likes the affection of a female and try to seek out relationships with females so that he may have such a pleasure again. No Jimmy, you shall remain devoid of all female contact until you are 21. And Sally, don't you go around hugging boys because once you give them that privelege, they'll want to hug you every day and next thing you know, you'llbe the only 7th grader with a son in kindergarten. And none of that girl on girl action either. That makes you a lesbian, which makes you evil and God will hate you. Gimmie a fucking break America... seriously.

Seems like everything we are at liberty to do now is a ban waiting to happen. Right now, I honestly get the feeling when I am just walking around that I am doing something wrong. I was going through campus the other day and I thought to myself, I would be $100 that I am breaking some sort of law right now. Funny thing is, I probably was. School systems are getting more rediculous by the year.

Fuckers! I'm sure it is intended to stop kids from kissing on school grounds. I can't believe this shit has gone this far.
What's next, no breathing at school?

You can call it politically correct or politically incorrect but it all comes down to extremist bullshit on both sides. On the PI side the fundamentalists here have had a far greater influence on our schools, such as removing Halloween as a celebrated, if unofficial, holiday. Students in our district are not allowed to wear Halloween costumes to school anymore and the tradition of the grade schoolers parading in their costumes at the senior citizen's home is verboten. On the PC side you have idiots trying to protect “self esteem” while outlawing hugs which are generally considered good for one's self esteem. As I hug my kids on their way out the door each morning I always remind them “you can never get enough hugs”.
