I read an article in a newspaper about how schools administrators are becoming so politically correct and/or afraid of litigation that they are going to ridiculous extremes. One of the following is true and was contained in that article. The other four I made up. Can you tell which one is true?
- Two third-graders (a boy & girl) were each suspended for one week for holding hands in the cafeteria.
- A school principal was quoted as saying that students should not be allowed to think but must be programmed to instinctively react as society norms would dictate.
- A student basketball player was suspended from his team for insensitivity (3 games) because he shot and made a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left in a game in which his team was ahead by 42 points at the time he took the shot.
- Some school administrators have banned musical chairs because the inevitable elimination, which is the object of the game, invites ridicule.
- During gym at one school, students are now required to wear warm-up pants because of a parent's complaint to the school board that her daughter's legs were unattractive and she has repeatedly been humiliated because other students have been singing jingles about her having chicken legs.
It's not easy...Is it?
The "winner" is number 4. The losers are our childen.
Would I kid u?
