The Culmination of the West: Schools Replacing “Tug of War” With “Tug of Peace”


COEXIST

Culturist John used the phrase "The Culmination of the West" in discussing another issue with me.

I don't think I agree with John on that other issue (he and I do not agree on quite a few things, but I love him).

I would say THIS is The Culmination of the West, or perhaps more appropriately, this is ultimate end of believing that one can re-define EVERYTHING in one's own image.

This is the gayest thing I have ever heard.

Obviously, Liberals have aborted their own brain.

All those who once had dicks are now chicks.
What Difference Does It Make? 
As school begins in the coming weeks, parents of boys should ask themselves a question: Is my son really welcome? A flurry of incidents last spring suggests that the answer is no. 
In May, Christopher Marshall, age 7, was suspended from his Virginia school for picking up a pencil and using it to “shoot” a “bad guy” — his friend, who was also suspended. 
A few months earlier, Josh Welch, also 7, was sent home from his Maryland school for nibbling off the corners of a strawberry Pop-Tart to shape it into a gun. At about the same time, Colorado’s Alex Evans, age 7, was suspended for throwing an imaginary hand grenade at “bad guys” in order to “save the world.” 
In all these cases, school officials found the children to be in violation of the school’s zero-tolerance policies for firearms, which is clearly a ludicrous application of the rule. But common sense isn’t the only thing at stake here. In the name of zero tolerance, our schools are becoming hostile environments for young boys. 
Across the country, schools are policing and punishing the distinctive, assertive sociability of boys. Many much-loved games have vanished from school playgrounds. At some schools, tug of war has been replaced with “tug of peace.” 
Since the 1990s, elimination games like dodgeball, red rover and tag have been under a cloud — too damaging to self-esteem and too violent, say certain experts. 
Young boys, with few exceptions, love action narratives. These usually involve heroes, bad guys, rescues and shoot-ups. 
As boys’ play proceeds, plots become more elaborate and the boys more transfixed. When researchers ask boys why they do it, the standard reply is, “Because it’s fun.”
