British Prissification Campaign
Posted by Dave Blount at June 11, 2007 3:49 PM
The American Spectator keeps us apprised of some of the recent proposals to advance the prissification of children attending British schools. Proposed and actual bans include:
- Playing on an old steamroller that had stood on a playground without incident since 1964, because it "failed to meet any required standards whatsoever."
- Sack races, three-legged races, and egg-and-spoon races, because they might encourage a competitive spirit.
- Musical chairs, because it could lead to aggression.
- Certain playground swings, because they were too tall.
- A charity kite-flying contest, because of a lack of health and safety insurance.
- Palm trees, because they have sharp leaves.
- Making daisy chains and flower baskets, because the flowers might have germs.
- Playing conkers without safety goggles, because a piece of chestnut shell could conceivably get in someone's eye.
Activities forbidden at various schools also include handstands, tag, yo-yos, tree-climbing, skipping, ball games, bicycle-riding, and throwing snowballs without acquiring the target's opinion in advance.
However, children are not forbidden to snivel and whine, the only profitable skills in a world run by moonbats.
On a tip from V the K.
