Massachusetts isn't without it's fair share of morons. Today's gem is Principle Gaylene Heppe of Willett Elementary School. Her contribution to the children of tomorrow is a ban on playing "tag". Stupid doesn't quite cover it. I'm not really sure what adjectives I can use to heap the appropriate amount of disgust and disbelief but I can start with the classic "Gaylene you Stupid Twat..."

Tag.

Banned like drugs, or guns because... yes kids can get hurt. Playing Tag.

What a fucking dolt this woman is, and everyone supporting it. Kids are going to get hurt, it's part of growing up. The idea that you'll stop kids from running around by banning Tag is retarded enough to make any sane persons head hurt. So what now, Tag is banned, are they going to ban all forms of running around because the kids might trip or run into something or someone? What's next, leg shackles after lunch? Chain gangs of youngsters shuffling in and out of a playground only to look at the swings and slides and each other, fettered and safe but desperate to play?

I get the strong feeling that Gay failed her educators courses. Everyone knows (since everyone has been a kid, maybe with the exception of Ms. Heppe) kids need time to run around and let off steam so they can focus. After all, kids have energy.

Rules have cropped up against dodgeball, in other states against ANY unsupervised "contact" sports.

It's fucking amazing. Future generations aren't just going to be fat, they're not going to know how to organize a simple pickup-game in the future because, for fuck sake, they were never permitted to as kids.

Get a fucking life Gaylene, let kids be kids.
