The most Ridiculous rules I can find!

It’s a shame when our country goes so far to protect us that they end up limiting our freedoms to the point of ridiculousness.

Take for example, this poor girl who recieved 2 detentions for giving friends hugs before the weekend. This was put into effect to prevent public displays of affection. When had PDA become such an issue that a side hug squeeze warrants 2 detentions!? I remember in those younger grades my friends and I hugged and screamed when we reunited after a trip to the bathroom! Good thing I was subject to such a rule, I would have spent 2 years in detention.

In the use and abuse of drugs class I am currently enrolled in, we are discussing Over the counter drug abuse. Things such as cough medicine can be used to get a high similar to opiates. The solution, they say is to censor yet more available over the counter medicines. So first they pulled sudafed thanks to the meth heads, now cough medicine for the ignorant teens, what’s next? Are we going to outlaw air freshners? Cause kids get high on those as well! Yet both tobacco and alcohol are still legal and available for purchase despite the fact that millions of deaths can be attributed to them!

Where does it stop? In an effort to “protect” us, we are just being limited and yet the drug heads are still finding ways to get high, and the meth heads are creating new ingredient lists and the huffers just get another household object to inhale. And little girls in middle school get detentions for hugging. Makes a lot of sense…
