Hugging Is Banned At Colorado School

The Education Wonks features a post citing a Boulder Daily Camera article that announces that hugging has been banned at a North Boulder middle school.



Here’s our favorite part of the newspaper report:

Centennial Assistant Principal Becky Escamilla said that some concerned sixth-grade teachers asked the administration to spell out policies surrounding “PDAs” – jargon for public displays of affection.



“There was some sixth-grade romance going on,” she said.



Escamilla said the school is not anti-hug.



“We just want our kids to be appropriate at school and focus on academics,” she said.

Does this mean French kissing is out?
