Way to teach our kids how to act in society

No touching. That's the rules. Not even a hug - full body or not. Even a handshake is off-limits. Now those are rules that will help the next generation succeed in life after public education.

Can you just see the look on the face of a kids who went to this school and he/she shows up for a job interview and the interviewers put out their hands to shake his/her hand? With shit like this, no wonder the up and coming generation doesn't know how to act. Hand shaking, and even hugging in some circumstances, are almost beyond socially accepted greetings - they verge on socially expected. By not allowing these kinds of important social interactions, the administration of that school are crippling their students.

While there's a federal urge to "weigh in" on what is socially and morally correct for kids, there are no protections either. The lack of consistency is frightening.

On the one hand we have issues with evolution and Darwin vs. religous nutcakes who like to claim all science is evil. On another you have "zero tolerance" policies that kick out kids for taking asprin or drugs prescribed to them. You have schools that expunge pictures of two boys kissing while allowing pictures of heterosexual kissing on plenty of other pages.

Government rules, local rules, made up rules. It's no real suprise that kids trying to get an educated come out wondering how the world manages to run at all with the nutcases that are in charge of it.
