Schools reasonably ban cigarettes, drugs and violence — but hugging? Students are not embracing Chase Middle School's hugging ban.
The Forest City, N.C. school's administrators said they will not tolerate consensual light embraces between friends. Hugs, they maintain, are not appropriate school behavior.
This stance came to light after a frightening seizure sent eighth-grader Parker Jackson to the hospital in an ambulance.
His classmates welcomed him back with many hugs the following day, reported Fox Carolina. But the administration would not stand for those public displays of affection.
