How long before the administrators decided that this was grossly inappropriate behavior for elementary school students?

Sprung added that some of the 15 to 20 concerned parents he’s talked with were upset about the touchy conversations with their kids the game had prompted.

Too bad, we were going to play stab tag next. Then maybe smoke crack tag after that. I'm sure that the majority single moms were upset(that their kid got caught). I'm sure they can find another good game, like hitting kittens with baseball bats. Such good kids.

Soooo, you are saying that these children were outside, UNSUPERVISED, playing rape tag. Is that what you are saying? If that was the case, then the school has far more serious problems than a game.

Tongue in cheek my dear, tongue in cheek, although sometimes bureaucrats can move quite slowly.

LOL! I was agreeing with you.
If I was a teacher it would have been a no brainer, ya know? And I do understand going through the motions, but really? I would hop right on that behavior and probably gotten fired, lol.

Daily Horoscope for June 1

Virgo

It's no good arguing with a certain person today because they'll always have a smart answer ready for you and you'll simply end up going round in circles. You could also get rather ratty in the process, which will destroy any chance of raising objective arguments or proving that they're a boring pedant who's only happy when they're scoring points off you. They might say the same about you!
