This Would Be Political Correctness Run Amok…

…if running were allowed.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – An elementary school has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will.

“It causes a lot of conflict on the playground,” said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school.

Running games are still allowed as long as students don’t chase each other, she said.

OK, I guess running amok is still fine, just that chasing amok isn’t.

How did us parents survive childhood without these people watching over us, eh?
