Hugs in School

Have you ever heard anything more ridiculous, than a student getting in trouble for giving a friend a hug? Positive emotions should be celebrated by schools especially when a growing of deadly violent trends needs to be combated. Emotions are unavoidable and NO ONE should EVER be punished for the good ones. Punishment doesn't change the negatives and it will not change the positives when emotions are being studied. The ONLY time there should be an issue is when a student complains and the approach to combat sexual harassment is education. Educating what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. But, come on, a hug between friends? Come on now. Schools are working too hard to remove positive emotion deriving situations such as birthday parties and holiday celebrations. Each should be studied and shared to enhance the good!
