POPSU.S. public schools' problem: too much hugging? A few days ago, a 13-year-old middle school girl was punished with detention for hugging several friends. A few Google searches later, I find that bans on hugging (along with other restrictive policies about physical contact between students or on public displays of affection) are not that uncommon. Official justifications inuclude: the need to keep order (because prolonged or multi-person hugs clog traffic in hallways between classes); teachers' and administrators' inability to determine when hugs are unwanted by their recipients; and the belief that allowing any physical contact encourages a permissive attitude that will lead to disruption and fighting. Way to raise a generation of mentally healthy kids, folks.

POPSR.I.P. Falwell: preliminary roundup of media coverage From various sources, here is a quick roundup of mainstream coverage of and blog responses to Falwell's death this week. I've barely begun to get through this list. Someone ought to start a wiki. Many of these links are from ReligionHeadlines.org and from other Religion Newswriters Assoc. pages. Some are from the GetReligion.org post on Falwell from this week. Others are from Beliefnet. Highly incomplete; I plan to update this. Feel free to leave additional links in the comments.
