Does this policy include shaking hands? Since it is a brainless no-tolerance policy, one would think so. Time used to be that a handshake was used at the start of a football or baseball game when the players greeted students from an opposing team. A handshake is also customary after cerebral games such as chess. Blanket policies against all forms of touch lead to insipid consequences. Hopefully this policy will disappear by year's end before other schools think about trying it.

It won't disappear, other schools will implement it, it will spread throughout the land, and be universally touted by the government bureaucrats who run public schools as the best, most sensible means of "preserving the learning environment". There is no idea too blatantly insipid, destructive and totalitarian that it won't be endorsed by virtually every public school administrator in existence. They are -- literally, demonstrably, and across the board -- among the stupidest people who manage to secure college degrees. Blind authoritarianism is the true nature of their pedagogy; "Zero tolerance" is the sanctimonious, moralizing pitch they foist on the unwitting to implement it.

Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for having had the opportunity to homeschool my child.
