It's dangerous, virtually criminal. Smothering all emotions, when they are developing. Perhaps they want robots that will obey commands. Emotions can require care, not detachment.
Do they have the same problem with emotion attachments, and displays when they involve a product?
The Superintendent had good excuse "It was in the handbook."

This exemplifies
  • a punishable ignorance of educational psychology (concerning the authors of those preposterous school regulations),
  • the misanthropic turn that the déformation professionnelle of teachers and their principals can take, and
  • the structural violence of an unsympathetic and undemocratic system.
    Just these are the conditions which potentially drive juveniles to run amok or to commit suicide. Society pays for rotten and, respectively, strangulating educational settings.

    This is a fine example of taking love and innocent gestures of friendship, caring out of the schools. The real problems that should be focused on are better education, school bullying, guns in school (weapons), drugs and identify the root cause of these! Get with the real world and see what is really harming our children. Stop the petty legalities!

    After a school lost a large lawsuit for repeatedly ignoring a students complaints of harrassment by a peer, they started making these dumb regulations on public displays of affection . They're hoping having these kinds of policies might protect them from future lawsuits.

    How can this be? How Can THIS be? Why is it ok to bomb, kill, torture, shoot people in real life or in a video game, see it ALL of the time on television, in news, sitcom or drama or movie, but hugging is considered an offensive? Smiling is next?

    See also the clips Why Schools Don't Do Hugs and Ill. student gets detention for hugging.
    I encourage and call on all juveniles who have to live under such school rules to hug eachother demonstratively, bravely hazarding the consequences.
    I spur their parents into action: Stop schools making robots of your daughters and sons!

    The school official is obviously more worried about the possibility of getting sued for sexual harassment of a student than he is concerned for their emotional well-being and development.
