Washingtonpost.com - A playground pastime is getting a timeout this spring at a McLean elementary school. Robyn Hooker, principal of Kent Gardens Elementary School, has told students they may no longer play tag during recess after determining that the game of chasing, dodging and yelling "You're it!" had gotten out of hand. Hooker explained to parents in a letter this month that tag had become a game "of intense aggression."This is not the old-fashioned tag, where you could use two fingers and you would be it and move on to someone else," Hooker said. The game, she said, has become much more aggressive. "I call it the nouveau tag."  This tag involves grabbing people who do not necessarily know they are playing and possibly bumping them to the ground. "Then the kids do 'pyramiding' or 'towering.' They pile on each other. [Sometimes] they call it 'jailhouse' or 'jailbreak,' " because the child has to break out, she said.

No tag huh?   Why stop there?  Why don’t we just outlaw kids from walking from now on?  We can just put them in gigantic bubbles and roll them around from place to place.   This way nobody gets hurt.  And while we’re at it we should eliminate all competitive sports so kids who suck don’t get their feelings hurt.   It will be great.  The United States will be a huge pussy utopia filled with kids who have never fallen down, never lost at anything in their life  and never been told their wrong.  And then eventually these kids will grow into incompetent adults who don’t even know how to tie their shoes and Canada will invade our asses and put us out of our misery.  

PS- This principal needs to wake the fuck up.   Tag doesn’t involve knocking down kids who aren’t playing and then pig piling them.   Maybe this bitch should worry about disciplining the kids who do this type of shit instead of just canceling the entire game.  Just a thought.
