Australian School Bans "Inappropriate" Hugging

An Australian school is getting international attention these days -- not for its academics or athletics, though.

It has a new policy -- a policy on hugging.

The principal at the Largs Bay Primary School in Adelaide, Australia, has banned "inappropriate" hugging.

The school says you can still hug a friend.

Just don't go too far.

The principal is apparently concerned about PDA's (public displays of affection) by students in Year 6 and Year 7 (11-to-13-year-olds) who have boyfriends or girlfriends.

"We set strong standards of behavior for our Year 6 and 7 students, who are seen as role models by our younger students," said Largs Bay principal Julie Gale, in an e-mail to the Associated Press (AP).

"We have standards," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "And we've got younger children in the schoolyard. So we expect appropriate forms of affection."

1. Let's all agree: inappropriate anything should be banned.

Now, let's set up a committee to debate a few centuries over the definition of "inappropriate" in any and all circumstances with everything. ;-)

4. Is inappropriate hugging code for dry humping?

I think 11-13 year olds should not be allowed to dry hump in school.
