CT School Bans All Touching After Dangerous Nut Shots

Yet more evidence that zero tolerance policies are bullshit. We need to have zero tolerance for zero tolerance.

ipods, saggy jeans, endless playstation, and no touching others. Yeah, this generation will really leave a mark.

Damn, I pay good money to get kicked in the balls. These guys are getting it for free. So whats the problem?

In this week's episode, the kids learn that most adults are idiots.

@jchez - yeah, and shouldn't teaching (and parenting) include showing kids when it's OK to shake hands, hug, etc. and when it's not?

Some of the Shaolin monks in China practice "iron groin" training, which allows them to withstand even the hardest strikes without pain or injury.

I'm from Staten Island and there was plenty of groin kicking there.. Protect your nuts..

I'm from Shaolin as well and the fake-out groin attack was popular in school. Basically, the attacker would approach the victim, pretend to give him a high five up in the air. Then the victim would go try to complete the high five with his hand in the air, and in a split second, the attacker would punch the victims unprotected and exposed balls, catching him completely off guard and intensifying the pain.

You best protect your neck.

Shouldn't adults be able to tell harmless human activities from criminal assault and battery?

I take it you have never taken a shot to the balls? Hardly a harmless human activity.

I think jchez is referring to the difference between kicking someone's groin and giving them a hug, which the school lumps together and bans indiscriminately.

some school supervisor is watching way too much arrested development.

we have a winner.

Learning how to avoid getting hit in the balls is an important part of every young man's upbringing.

Learning not to kick others in the balls is a much more important lesson in every young man's upbringing. I hate bullies.

Although, if groin-kicking is the only problem here, kids could just wear cups all the time.

I hate bullies. You don't say? take a page from your own book and stop acting like one when someone says something that you disagree with. Until that day occurs, keep that cup strapped on tight tough guy

I think you're the bully here, pal.

Ho boy, Milford is also the town that pipes a customized satellite radio station into all the buses, on the theory that it makes the kids behave. I would soooooo not raise my kids there.

but what should one do when a punk kid sends another kid to the hospital from a kick to the groin? and there were several incidents.

I say lock them up and throw away the key. save us all the problems now. and, what were their grades?????? Hmmmmm???

So I guess a game of "tag" is out. Might as well fire the phys ed teachers because obviously football, baseball, wrestling and cheerleading are all out the window.

And you wonder why some kids don't know how to interact with people. Text messaging and the internet aren't helping either.

Excellent point - kids are becoming increasingly socially awkward. Teaching/discipline methods should be reviewed to take these factors into account.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Unfuckingbelievable! What a bunch of morons, and I mean the teachers!
