Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
Two studants at a local school here in oz have been banned from school for 8 days i think for kissing on school grounds.
pupils at that school have been reminded that THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW ANY AFFECTION/ATTRACTION AT ALL TO MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX this includes hugging and HAND HOLDING
sincerly
wtf?
i wish i had brought the paper to read the full story

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
Who was talking of "PC gone mad", and why do you think this is an example of it?

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
how old were they?
tbh, I don't get that. Though I'm not a huge personal fan of kissing in public

"We order you not to fall in love! Falling in love will result in two weeks suspension! Staring googlyed eyed at a member of the opposite gender will mean two days in the hole. A hand around the waist of a member of the opposite sex means the firing squad for the first offence. Second offence by any survivors will mean loss of canteen privalages...."

Banning kissing is no worse than banning designer clothes and implementing a uniform policy. Letting kids wear nice things to school is considered 'bad' because it supposedly causes poor people to suffer from jealousy/self-esteem problems/whatever. But allowing in-school relationships is the same; the fatties are going to feel bad when they see everyone around them kissing nice-looking girls, while they arent likely to lose their virginity before 30.
Either 'protecting self-esteem' is a worthwhile policy goal when considering school regulations, or it isnt.
edit: that was obviously phrased as a troll, but I'm being serious.

I doubt that is the primary aim for either policy tbh.

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
there's been a 'no petting' rule in public swimming baths for well over 60 years and amnesty international have yet to launch a campaign.

I think it's next on their list. Surely this is just restricting natural tendancies between obviously sensible and mature people?

I assume children don't generally go and pet each other? Unless you mean adults petting children?

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
and yet that case of a girl beating up another girl resulted in the attacker being suspended for a couple of days. proportion is great.

Let's keep this in mind.
this could have been an 18 year old boy 'kissing' an 11 year old boy, we simply don't know.

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
Kissing on 'which bit' should also be considered.

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
"PC gone mad" would be something like a boy and a girl being excluded for a week for being caught kissing, then a few weeks later two girls being caught kissing and the same "punishment" not being given. (This happened at my school ~1996, and made it to the dizzy heights of Ths Sun when the parents group complained to the council.)

Re: Talking of PC gone mad, Studants suspended for kissing in school
In the US, the problem is caused by idiot parents suing the schools for sexual harassment or hostile environment.
Several month ago, a 6-year old was suspended for several days for kissing a school mate on the cheek. There was a concern that this might have been considered an unwanted sexual advance on the part of the six-year old.

Yes. I saw the parents of the little boy interviewed on television. Noone from the school was willing to come on and talk about it.
