Thats no human target, thats my SON!
The heartfelt plea of a New Hampshire mom horrified to learn that, when her son was playing dodgeball at school, the other kids were trying to (horror!) HIT HIM WITH THE BALL!!
Oh, the humanity
So now the Wyndham school committee has voted 4-1 to ban human target games from P.E. This will, of course, keep this ladys loser kid from ever being picked on in school...... Right.
Is there any game more popular in school than dodgeball? Kids love it, everyone can play, it gets people exercising, it doesnt require expensive equipment or a high-level of skill. So of course the schools are killing it.
If thats not annoying enough, listen to these dopey delicate flowers talk about why they must eradicate this evil from the Earth:
School board member Michelle Farrell said that the games are not right from a bullying aspect.
LaBranche added that students have been singled out by their contemporaries for not wanting to participate in the games; and that the singling out has not ended in that particular class.
Farrell also acknowledging that the names of some of the games would have people mortified.
Some of those game names include Prison Ball and even Slaughter.
While not reading the slaughter name aloud, vice chairman Stephanie Wimmer said she was concerned about the message being sent.
When I saw the names of some of these games, unfortunately guys, we live in a world where 20 babies were slaughtered, said Wimmer.
We need to take the violence out of our schools and not teach it, she later added.
Dodgeball teaches violence? Then what does football teach? Mass murder??
And remember that all this started with the complaint of one mom. The school educrats then launched an investigation, and now the kids are stuck with checkers and tic tac toe.
There are certainly pros and cons to this, said Bill Raycraft, athletic director for Windham High School. If dodgeball is done right, its safe and well worth the activity.
Raycraft said the balls used are not the hard rubber balls used years ago. The game uses gator balls, which are foam balls lighter than a Nerf football.
I think (the School Boards) concern was not of injury, but of elimination, Raycraft said. The goal is to keep kids in the game and moving for physical activity.
