Long Island School Bans ‘Footballs, Baseballs, Lacrosse Balls, or Anything that Might Hurt Someone’

Via: CBS:

Worries about injuries at a Long Island school have led to a surprising ban.
As CBS 2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Monday, officials at Weber Middle School in Port Washington are worried that students are getting hurt during recess. Thus, they have instituted a ban on footballs, baseballs, lacrosse balls, or anything that might hurt someone on school grounds.
Tossing a football during recess has long seemed to be a rite of passage for kids in the school community.
“I think we need the soccer balls, the footballs and everything, so we can have some fun,” one student said.
But the students will have no such option anymore. They were just informed that during recess, football is out and Nerf ball is in. Hard soccer balls have been banned, along with baseballs and lacrosse balls, rough games of tag, or cartwheels unless supervised by a coach.

We have allowed the mental patients to capture the Institution folks and we are now calling them Educators. With Bill de Blasio the front running Progressive in the NY Mayoral race NY has no clue whats about to hit them.

Think Nazi Germany 1940...the exodus will be amusing to watch, that is of course if they build walls around the city to keep you in.  Laugh now cry later.

“To the degree that we take away play, we deprive children of the ability to practice adulthood, and we create people who will go through life with a sense of dependence and victimization, a sense that there is some authority out there who is supposed to tell them what to do and solve their problems. That is not a healthy way to live.” – psychologist Peter Gray
