so they can ‘ensure physical, emotional safety of students’. Man this country is going to hell.
MERCER ISLAND, Wash. -- Kids at the Mercer Island School District are now banned from playing the popular childhood game of tag on the playground.
Parents told Q13 Fox News they had no idea about the ban until their kids told them. Now, moms and dads are asking why they weren’t part of the decision-making process.
“Good grief, our kids need some unstructured playtime,” said mom Kelsey Joyce.
It’s a game that practically everyone has played – but if you go to public school on Mercer Island, keep your hands to yourself.
District parents were surprised by the decision.
“I totally survived tag,” said Joyce. “I even survived red rover, believe it or not.”
“I played tag,” said mom Melissa Neher, “I survived.”

This is just dumb... I am so glad we home school our children. Kids now days are becoming teacups... Fragile, delicate, and pathetically sheltered. This whole generation of "everybody is a winner and gets a trophy" is going to grow up and be severally incapable of facing the difficulties of day-to-day life.
