Schools Ban Balls. All. Kinds. Of. Balls.

Schools Ban Balls. All. Kinds. Of. Balls. “No longer allowed at the Weber Middle School in Port Washington, NY: footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, lacrosse balls and any other hardballs that could injure a child. ‘We want to make sure our children have fun but are also protected,’ [said] Dr. Kathleen Maloney, superintendent…” Hey, school itself is pretty dangerous – there are hard books, sharp pens & pencils and other dangerous stuff there (like idiot “educators”.)

  • I can see it coming, commercials for some gutter licking lawyer who asks.."has you child been hurt by a ball at School?"..At Dewey, Cheatem, and How we specialize in ball suits. Remember you pay nothing till you win! Call 1-800-no balls now to talk to a attorney. 1-800-no balls....Dewey, Cheatem, and How, not licensed in Arkansas and Texas......Home Office Los Angeles California, home of the No Balls industry....

  • What your kid learned in school today:

    Playing four-square with a red rubber ball is dangerous; an*l sex with anonymous strangers isn't.

    • Gaaaa, should have read them all (no pun) before posting. Knew better and you beat (again, no pun) me to it. Sorry for beating a dead horse up there, yours is better. As always. (more concise too ;) )

  • Maybe they will just make the boys play with Barbies, and make the andrygenous Ken doll their new ideal.
    That ought to make the left happy.

    • DAMN, I typo's androgynous!
      Sometimes when I'm typing, my mind gets ahead of my fingers and letters from other words get in there! Usually I catch them before the edit time is up.

  • About the only thing this kind of crap is going to create is a bunch of overweight, neurotic sheep, who are afraid of their own shadows. Or mass murders like that kid from CT.
