A video clip showing the policy in a Virginia school that does not allow touching of ANY kind, high 5's, handshakes (they can be a GANG secret sign) and ESPECIALLY no hugging. What a great message to give to kids, eh.

Didn't you just love the part about the handshake, could be a secret GANG WAR sign. Jeez. How long does it take to become a Canadian?

Edit: Seriously. How can you claim that I'm over reacting in a thread about a school that is so afraid of what trouble might come that they are a school which bans handshakes?!?
Edit 2: I mean, how much worse do you think it should get before someone shouts "Holy crap! It's just like the NAZI's, we can't have this!?" Maybe we should just wait until half of everyone is in a cultural re-education centre.

That's sick. But sick rules about physical contact don't seem to be limited to the US. I heard about English preschools where the preschool teachers aren't allowed to have physical contact with the children. They were not allowed to put sun screen on the children, so they couldn't go out when the sun was shining unless the parents had put sun screen on the children. They also weren't allowed to take the children on their lap to comfort them.
I think denying small children the physical contact they crave is abuse, just as much as forcing physical contact on them when they don't want it.
