It turns out that an elementary school in New York state is going to ban the use of Footballs, Baseballs, & Soccer balls, as well as the activities of Tag & Cartwheeling during recess, as being too dangerous...
Sure, they said there will be special opportunities during P.E. for the students to take part in such activities, as orchestrated & supervised by teachers, but it's pretty sad how we now feel like we have to protect kids from being kids.
This may be worse than that little league football organisation in California, that's going to start fining teams $200 any time they score too many points.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
I was gonna be shocked until I read it was in New York. I'd be even less surprised if it was at one of the schools near where I live. They already banned half the fun games while I was growing up. :/
EDIT: Looked it up. I'm just going to link it because the title is hilarious: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/10/08/long-island-school-to-stu...
