To ban hugging at school is to brainwash our children into becoming selfish snobs as adults.

To ban hugging at school is to make sure everyone knows that school is really prison.

Next thing you know, schools nationwide may as well just put up guard towers, fences with coiled razor ribbon tops, and hire military personnell with M-16s and sniper rifles to patrol the school campus.

per group (8 teen boys), students should be allowed to high-five, hold hands, hug, and kiss on campus

I think hugging is natural. I like to hug my friends to show i love them. Hugging is almost natural and its not PDA. (Its not like your kissing or anything)I belive its an outrage to get in trouble for something children give thier mom at night.

Judge Tom’s response:
Good point, Savanna. Schools are concerned about long hugs and maybe what should be called PPDAs – passionate public displays of affection. Some schools have even established a 2 or 3-second rule which, when broken, results in detention or some other form of discipline. Both you and the school have legitimate concerns which call for a compromise that is satisfactory to all.
