Windham School Board Bans ‘Human Target’ Activities (aka – Dodgeball!)

Susan posted a link to the story here, but the first sentence from the Concord Monitor article was all I needed to see.

No Dodge-ball Makes me Angry!
Reaver: ‘No Dodge-ball Makes me angry!’

The Windham School District has banned dodgeball and other “human target” activities over concerns about violence and bullying.

That’s a very broad statement.  Almost every action of government is a form of bullying that targets human activities. When might we start banning some of that?

(yes, I kept reading…)

“We spend a lot of time making sure our kids are violence free,” Windham superintendent Dr. Henry LaBranche said. “Here we have games where we use children as targets. That seems to be counter to what we are trying to accomplish with our anti-bullying campaign.”

All I have to say at this point is G-23 Paxilion Hydrochlorate.
