Schools may ban kids from having best friends — and it's not the worst idea

It will never end. The West is doomed unless this insane micro management is eliminated.

Schools may ban kids from having best friends — and it's not the worst idea

They are moving the children closer to 'comradeship'. This is an old Communist tactic pushed by the Chinese during the Cultural Revolution. The destruction of interpersonal relationships in favor of a further, more devoted one with the state.

There is no way in hell that schools would have the ability to stop kids from having best friends. All the kids would have to do is wait until school is over and then hang out.

And, incidentally, I really don't think this idea is going to take off. This was instituted by the British royal family for the prince. Not all kids are royalty. And, in the case of the prince, it kinda makes sense to say that at the outset, because otherwise there could be kids who are influenced by their parents to buddy up to the prince as a way to curry favor with the royal family.

I mean think about it.......................wouldn't most people jump at the chance to have their kid have a playdate with the royal family? And, if it became a regular thing, you could possibly have influence.

Think of it another way....................how many parents on this board would be thrilled if their kid was hanging out with Baron Trump?

Who cares what 'Prince George' says. This is the United States of America and we don't have royalty except for the moron in the White House who thinks he's king.

Why is this in US Discussion's?

Which is a personal family decision.. Nothing to do with this.

If they’ll go along with that, it’s hardly inconceivable that they’ll go along with other batty ideas.
