Can you believe this???? The ABC evening news had a segment about dodge ball in elementary school. Eight states have elliminated it and this nut case professor of education is encouraging all schools to ban it. The reason.... because students are ellimating other students from the game by HITTING them with an object. This is a display of force and aggression and can harm their poor fragil little minds. It shows them that force and agression are proper hense creating potential violent tendancies.
The proponents of the game countered that it teaches that life is not always a bed of roses and there are some losses in the arena of competetion. More than anything else, it's fun,it exercise, the kids like it, and it is good for hand eye coordination.
Another case of some liberal nut case pushing views on everyone.
