Today I thought I'd talk about stupid laws. I got the idea after reading a unbelievable (but true) story online. The leaders of an Illinois middle school are total morons. They have banned hugging in school! And they DO enforce it! One 13 year old girl got detention for hugging her friends at the end of school one day. Hearing what the school administration says about hugging (or ANY public display of affection) is hilarious..."It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment, and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved." Worse still, a school in Chicago is apparently doing the same thing. The principal of that school has been quoted as saying, "Rampant hugging is creating bottle necks in the hallway!" Rampant hugging!!! Oh no!!!! It is official, some of the dumbest minds in America are teaching our kids. Could that be why our grade scores are not that great?
To end with, here are a collection of laws that either are or were on the books:
