~ A thirteen-year-old Virginia boy has been suspended from school for hugging his girl friend in the school cafeteria, a violation of the school's no touching rule. "We absolutely forbid any physical contact between students," said James Sherman, Principal of the Maywood Park Junior High School. PTA Chairperson Haley Hughes said that she supports the school's no touching rule. "Touching leads to petting, and petting leads to kissing, and kissing leads to intercourse." Mrs. Hughes said. Principal Sherman said that the policy discourages fighting. "We don't want any physical contact, but we know there are going to be conflicts, so when the children enter school in the morning we remind them of the rule." Seniors complained when their prom was held at the Pocahontas State Correctional Center with male students on one side of the glass and females on the other. When songs played, students put their hands on the glass and swayed back and forth. Poor planning put the females on the prisoner's side of the glass leading to some very illegal touching when the male prisoners wandered into the prom area. "I got dumped at the prom for a guy doing 5-10 for armed robbery," Todd Smith lamented. Graduates will have their diplomas mailed to them: "To avoid all that icky post-graduate hugging," Principal Sherman said. ~
