School enforces strict no-touching rule...this is the model for the future

A middle school in Vienna, Virginia has just devised a new no-touching policy for their kids, kids can be sent to the principals office, and on CNN they even said kids can be kicked out of school for violating the no-touching policy.

www.msnbc.msn.com...

One kid even put his arm around his girlfriend, and he was given a warning if he did it again, hed be in detention.

What is this? This is nothing short of intrusion into peoples lives. They even said, no hugging, no holding hands, no hi-fives, no nothing, you cant touch anybody at all, you just sit around like robots.

And dont worry folks, if the NWO gets its way, this will be the norm for all schools. They are now introducing it at a few schools to test the water, and so far they have been getting alot of backlash for it, thank god.

Im serious, they dont want us to enjoy life at all, this Elite. They hate our freedom and creativity and joy. They want us under their boot and miserable, and are doing alot, big and small things, to create that.

What would be the point of a school administration allowing the banning of touching at schools? They say itll stop fights...maybe it would, but is no more fights worth not being able to kiss or hi-five or hold hands?

This again falls into the giving up freedom for security. This is the model it really is, they are doing everything they can, to make you think that giving up freedom for security is good and needed.

Folks when you give up liberty for security, you get tyranny. This is the same thing, literally, that the Nazis and the communists used to enslave their populations. They bated the people into giving up their rights for a secure country, and looked what happened. Its history repeating itself.

I wonder if any of these people making such rules know about Developmental Psychology studies which largely condemn a lack of touching. Stimulation is one of the most basic human needs, and when people do not touch at all, and are subjected to such a regime, there are very dangerous consequences. One of them is violence and even extremes of it. These well intentioned rule makers may not be so well intentioned if they know about these approaches to human living. Forbidding basic things like a hug by confusing it with an on the floor bear hug, is sheer stupidity.

Dodge ball is one of the classic physical education games, and when we remove such things from experience, it makes a frustrated social structure where no tensions are released.

I consider these rule makers to be sinister if they know, or well intentioned but mindless. You know how they say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." In this case it is about control freaks who mask their general hostility with convenient explanations.

There are few approaches more injurious to the well being of people than such structured taboos.

I have the email addresses of the Principal, Assistant Principal, Director of Student Services and the Dean of Students. Is it against this sites policy to post it? Let me know and I will if it is not. I already emailed them letting them know my outrage about this.

This is typical of our public schools here in the US ... I am a recent HS graduate (I graduated from high school in 2006) and I can say that they make rules that cross the line and violate civil rights left and right and if you question them they come up with excuses like "the school does not have to abide by the laws" or "the school has its own legal code" and so forth. I could write a book about all the abuses and crap that went down in my high school.

Some examples:

- they would lock all the bathrooms except for 1 (a 1 stall bathroom w 2 urinals for males or a 2 stall bathroom for females) and force us to sign in when we went and we could only go to the bathroom once per day (the HS schedule was 7:20am to 2:10pm) so there was 1 bathroom for 2,000 students. There reasoning was to cut down on the graffiti being written on the walls and stalls. I would just wait until nobody was around and sneak into one of the the male teachers bathrooms in an empty/less crowded part of the school.

- teachers would frequently assault students and then cover it up by claiming the student(s) was/were aggressive and violent. Eventually the cops became suspicious of the amount of so called attacks on teachers/staff reports and they asked to see the video cameras and the truth came out and a few teachers were actually fired and 1 or 2 were sent to jail for a month or so (in NY it is almost impossible to fire a teacher once tenure has been granted).

Anyone ever seen that movie "The Island?"

"Watch your proximity Lincoln Two Echo!"

Creepy!

This is a nightmare in gestation. If you take away that aspect of the kids' development, it's going to twist them up for life in ways these bureaucrats can't even begin to understand.

Ah well, par for the course...

Thank God for private school!!! US public education has been circling the drain for a while.

I think this is just one of those rules that is created because of the old law of "there's always one in the bunch that has to ruin it for everyone." Sorry kids, but school is not a pick up joint and is not a place for making out in the halls.

When I was in HS, people would hold hands or kiss, but when I was walking down the halls in my daughter's school, I couldn't believe how different things were! Kids were hanging all over each other everywhere!

School is a place for learning. I do not pay property taxes so you can get your rocks off in the hallways or under the bleachers. I pay taxes so you can get an education and be successful in life. Peace.

It's a reflection of our society's huge discomfort with the sexuality of young people, and the hysteria & panic it creates.

The average age an American loses their virginity is now 14.5, yet the age of consent in most places is 18.

Teen sex symbols are a muti-billion dollar business commodity, some of them cynically preaching chastity while dressed like streetwalkers.

Kids get caught playing doctor and end up on sex offender lists.

Teenagers post sexually explicit photos of themselves online - is it "child pornography?" Should they be prosecuted as child pornographers?

It's rooted in a bit of cognitive dissonance nobody wants to face: our biology programs us to begin becoming sexually active in our early teens, as we have throughout human history.

But modern mores, driven by the need for continuing education mandated by a technological society, dictate that one is not now considered an "adult" until 18 - creating an artificial five year gap between sexual maturity and social "adulthood".

It's a wonder we're not a lot more screwed up than we are, IMHO.

I seriously doubt this rule will catch on. 9 psychologists out of 10 will tell you that this will only result in serious impediments to a schoolchild's normal psychological development. Enforcement will likewise be very difficult.

As a footnote, I wish the government would realize that it is the parents' job to control the moral development of their children and NOT the State's.

The school system is designed to turn out ignorant uneducated peopled, I hope people can see this by now.

This school system is designed to kill the childs spirit and indoctrinate the being with false information they know they will never really use. That is why kids are bored at school, and dont like it. School, by and large, does not encourage creativity or inspiration, which is right brained, they are there to mold the child in to a left brain dominated person, which goes by fact and order and memorization.

I remember when I was in school, not to long ago, maybe 5 years ago, I was doing math, it was actually Algebra, and I discovered a new and easier way to solve the problems, which was so simple it didnt require you to show much work. You think that would a good thing right? This kid just found an easier faster way to solve the problem than it says in the textbook right? Wrong. I was told I couldnt do it my way, I had to do it exactly as was in the book, which was much longer and more complicated than my way, although we both got to the same answer. My teacher told me my way was wrong, and the books way was right.

This is what I mean. The school system is designed to shut off the thinking of the children, to in effect turn them into nothing but what some people call "repeaters". They just repeat everything theyre taught, theres no individual inspiration or creativity at all in schools.

But its even worse now, they want to turn the schools into nothing but mind programming centers, with the label "education" how orwellian. And its no accident that children these days are not doing well in our systems, its because they are showing us that our systems are defunked. The human race is advancing, with the coming of the indigo and crystal children, you will see that alot of kids today are very intelligent wise and creative, its just they have alot of problems fitting in to the structure around them, which is not up to par with them.

We have to advance the way we view education. Education is not taking the kids away from their parents at an early age, locking them in a building for 6 hours a day, all through their growing period, and pounding them with a slanted version of reality. You want the children to learn, take them to the classrooms of the world, the forests, the parks, the cities. Take them to places where they will really learn, from heart experience, not mind programming.

But, it seems that so far, we seem to be doing the opposite. Not only are we continuing with the defunked ways of educating, but we are making it worse. Creating more draconian policies designed to impede the childs natural social development, soon there will be policies allowing no gatherings, no communing, you just go to class, learn your propaganda, and leave.

Our children deserve better than to be brainwashed in an indoctrination system designed to turn them into educated slaves for the system, and you wanna get down to what the Elite are thinking in their minds when they create these systems for us, that is what they are thinking.

Well this is just absurd. It does not surprise me though. The school system is lacking. What else will they come up with?

We have let the legal systems make more and more "out there" decisions to the point that the mildest of human interactions can be adjudicated as "against the law". The greedy are not satisfied with attacking the core protaganist in their abuse of legalities but witch hunt everyone that could conceivably have influenced the matter. At the same time penalties have risen to the point where they are life destroying and not the deterrent and recompense that they should be. Take the case of a lawyer suing a dry cleaner for millions because they temporarily lost his pants.

The Virginian school authorities are taking the necessary rational steps to provide a modicum of respite from the all-pervading threat of legal action against their staff and students.

In my part of the world there is a savage shortage of foster parents to the point where children are being housed in motels and there is talk of reviving the old orphanages. Why? Because people don't want to risk that fifteen years after they open their house to a child in need that that same child trumps up allegations of misconduct under the guidance of some social worker misfit. Under our trial-by-media regime people are convicted by the public on accusation. It costs gozillions of dollars to prove innocence and the media, which made such a big deal at accusation, either ignore the innocent verdict or hide it away under an advertisement for phone sex on page 115. The kid gets tax-payer funded legal aid and sympathy because the accusations were not proved but the innocent foster-parents declare bankrupcy and lose their home to pay legal fees incurred in fighting a scurrilous accusation.

There is such a severe shortage of male teachers that male students are being fed a female-biased curriculum which does not suit and handicaps their education. Why? All it takes is some hormonaly-rampant pre-pubescent scumbag to seek revenge on a male teacher for a low test score (or other imagined slight) to make an accusation and immediately the male teacher is guilty. His reputation is forever trashed and his career dead irrespective of the discovered facts of the matter. Why would a man expose himself to such a threat for the education of the ungracious, ungrateful animals which are (jokingly) the future of our species?

Our societies have lost the plot and allowed legal money-grubbers to set the morality instead of it coming from the community. Of course the legals have set up a system which financially advantages them ( this is only what you would expect in a spiritless materialistic society) and to hell with justice, logic and reality and this is what we are currently experiencing. We, the silent majority, are to blame for not bringing the stupidity which festers in our society to an end. Until the ordinary people (the proletariat) take back control from the rampant exploiters things will only get worse.

Someone made a comment about private schools: URG! I hate them! I truely hate them! Spent one year in a private school, had my grades docked because I was not christian and also was forced to attend their stupid church or else be kicked out. No refund, so I was unable to leave. Glad my public schooling is behind me, I LOVED the public schools in comparison.

This no-touch policy sounds like something from George Orwells 1984 and the anti-sex league in the book, it was evil for men and women to be near each other in the book according to the government. They are already trying to get kids on anti-depressants so this will just help it along, this should be illega. Both the pushing for drugs on kids AND the no-touch. I do not mind the "dont go around kissing and hanging off each other in school" however this is going too far. Just put what I said in the school rule book and be done with it in one fell swoop, besides I do not recall having mental damage from having someone touch me. I have shaken loads of hands and patted many a head and back when I was in school, and I never had any problems because of it.

The morons should be kicked out and have their degrees revoked ASAP, no NOW!

Orwellian world here we come! We are another step in!

I think somebody in the board of that particular school has not gotten enough hugs in her or his life.

Perhaps his or her mother didn't breast feed the poor soul.

We need to find out who he or she is and just go in in masses and just hug her until she or he feels wanted.

No touching rules, shootings...I pity you Americans. Yeap, great place to live...

Not even an accidental boob graze? What is this world coming to? I wonder how it will affect sports, no contact football should be an instant success.
