Colo. school bans tag on its playground

[kfrost06]

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An elementary school has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will.

"It causes a lot of conflict on the playground," said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school.

Running games are still allowed as long as students don't chase each other, she said.

Fesgen said two parents complained to her about the ban but most parents and children didn't object.

In 2005, two elementary schools in the nearby Falcon School District did away with tag and similar games in favor of alternatives with less physical contact. School officials said the move encouraged more students to play games and helped reduce playground squabbles.

In other news, childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions but we need to show them understanding and build bigger desk for them so they won't "feel bad." Ohh man it's so hard to stand by and watch liberalism destroy our society.

"Harassed and chased against their will"?

Was it getting SEXUAL??

Substitute "workplace" for "schoolyard", and it makes sense.

(I wouldn't put anything past elementary school kids today.)

That's not liberalism. It's called fuckin' lazy. *The kids were forced to move and exert themselves.*

The 'PUSSIFICATION' of our children. Here in Vegas, the don't even get PE but once a week. And we wonder why obesity is at epedemic proportions.

Liberalism? Hardly . . .

According to research http://votingresearch.org/USAstudy.pdf (see page 3), Colorado Springs is one of the most conservative cities in the USA. Actually, it's in the top 25, nationwide.

So, where do you get the notion that this policy is the work of liberals?

So that means that no one in Colorado Springs is liberal? What career fields do liberals flock towards........education. When you think too hard, you miss the obvious.

The whole idea of political correctness stems from liberalism. The above doesnt prove anything.

No. That means that Colorado Springs is chuck full of raging heterosexual conservatives who tend to vote for conservative School Board members.

Educated people flock towards education. I can't help it if liberals are more educated than conservatives.

When you think too hard, you miss the obvious.

Liberals believe that others are not as educated as they are. They see people as unable to fend for themselves.
