Default No More Tag at School

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...l_061017162752

Can't play tag at school anymore, they are worried someone might get hurt.
I sure am glad the schools are on top of things like this, it would be REALLY bad if things got outta control and someone was "it" too long!

Looks like they changed the story, it was about a Mass. School banning the game of tag on the playground cause they were worried someone might get hurt and they would get sued.

Try this one and make sure your pop up controls are on. Yahoo changed the story from the link I originally posted.

Yeah its stupid, as a parent, I wouldnt sue if my kindergartner got hurt playing tag, I am more concerned about the amount of violence at the middle and high school levels that no one can seem to control.
