In Fairfax County VA intimate contact (or any contact for that matter) is now considered a punishable offense in school.

All touching — not only fighting or inappropriate touching — is against the rules at Kilmer Middle School in Vienna. Hand-holding, handshakes and high-fives? Banned. The rule has been conveyed to students this way: “NO PHYSICAL CONTACT!!!!!”

School officials say the rule helps keep crowded hallways and lunchrooms safe and orderly, and ensures that all students are comfortable.

Wow, its amazing how far this world has come.

    That won’t last. My school tried that a while back and detention ended up being two entire floors.

    If it does last those kids are stupid.

    1. Make friends, work with others, but no hugging or touching of any kind.

    2.. Take your depression medication and excell in class or be doomed for life.

    3. You have no rights, the school system owns you, but you do have the right to birth control pills without parental knowledge because we care about you as an individual.

    4. Trust yourself, look for the good in others but don’t talk to strangers and report anyone who looks suspicious..

    5. Be loyal, be a team player, report fellow students who break the rules and hey, turn in your parents if they disagree.

    6. The world is what you make it. Do as we say.
