Colorado Schools Ban Tag?

Do you listen to Glenn Beck on the radio? Or perhaps watch his TV show on Headline news? What a great, common sense, down-to-earth guy, he is. I love the way he just tells it like it is.

I recently read a transcript about one of his shows where Colorado schools have banned the game tag.

Are you kidding me? Banning tag?

Apparently kids (but we know it’s their parents) are upset at being chased. Glenn makes an excellent point by asking the question, “Why not ban dodge ball?” I mean, people are actually throwing things at you. Wouldn’t that lead to law suits destined to make people rich beyond their wildest dreams?

I don’t know about your area, but I recall a time when in my area teachers were not supposed to grade papers in red because it was “too harsh”. With so many colors in the rainbow to choose from, couldn’t we find a more warm-and-fuzzy color?

So be on the lookout. Kids are having their childhood snatched right from under their noses. What’s next? Hide and seek?
