  Two schools.
  Misleading headline from scummy propaganda website.
context: I definitely appreciate it. I was on break and had to post it im a hurry. I didn't have time to look around >
  
  TWO schools in England. It made the BBC News because it is so exceptional and different. However, FOX news reporting on point as ever. >
  
  I read the BBC article, not the Fox one and.... this sounds horrible.  The official statements are worse than the headline.  This will not go towards healthy relationships, it's going to create awkward people afraid of contact. >
  
  This is the most asinine approach to teaching children about, consent, personal space and behavioural boundries that I have ever seen. :| >
  
  So what, are these kids gonna get punished if they clap a buddy on the shoulder after winning  a game or hug a friend when they're down? Sounds like they're just going to foster some really socially awkward teenagers
  Additionally, I could understand it if it was a primary school, but doing it in a secondary school is a bit weird. Putting general physical contact aside, I don't even see how they can stop romantic relationships forming in a school jam-packed with hormonal teenagers xD Well, good luck, I guess >

  No.
  
  Students are not allowed to touch each other whilst on site. The only exceptions will be in Performing Arts, sporting activities and PE lessons, when this is required. This will help to create a calm and orderly atmosphere and ensure that there is no confusion about play fighting or anything more serious.
  
  While the internet is largely against the policy, the parents seem to be really for it. I'm somewhat curious what led up to this. >
  
  This will sure help fertility rates and make for well adjusted adults. >
  
  That’s kinda a creepy angle to look at this regarding school kids lol >
  
  In a few years they will also ban music and dancing.  I smell a footloose sequel! >
  
  Fox News. >
  
  Gym class will lead to a lot of suspensions >
  
  Now you know why 1776 happened. >
  
  Because 1775 hit Dec 31st? >
  
  uh huh >
  
  Cue everyone in school all holding all the time. Don't tell us what we can and can't do. Cancerous Tories.
