Out-of-control hugging leads to ban at Oregon junior high

[RogueScholar]

Is this really what we've come to as a society? Hugging is now too disruptive for school? I fear breathing may be next.

People seem to overreact a lot these days. They go from one extreme to the other in the blink of an eye. Common sense is nowhere to be found.

Also, parents reported that girls were using hugging as a game to see how fast boys could become aroused, Couch said, adding, "I was seeing evidence of it."

What was he doing checking out their underaged peckers?

The whole article reads like an absurd joke:

Couch said she was prompted to act in part because of a school bus incident that drew police. Though she would not describe what happened, she said no students had been harmed.

Also, it appeared to her that some students were hugging others who did not want the sign of affection.

In a March 10 memo written to other school district officials, Couch wrote, "Several parents have called because their child is being hugged, and because there is a 'culture of hugging' here they didn't feel that they could say no."



Maybe "hugging" is a euphemism for "dry humping".
