BFF? JDTM! (Best Friends Forever? Just Don't Touch Me!)
Wednesday November 7, 2007
From the "Things Are Getting a Little Out of Control" file: A 13-year-old girl was given detention for hugging her friends goodbye after school.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the 8th grader, Megan Coulter, a student at Mascoutah Middle School, was reprimanded by Randy Blakely, the school's vice principal, who caught her in the act and punished the girl for her unspeakable crime.
It was a repeat offense for Coulter, who had been previously warned by Blakely after she was seen hugging a student at a football game.
School policy dictates that "displays of affection should not occur on the campus at any time."
At a time when so many boys grab headlines with their attention-getting school shootings, it's nice to see a girl go on an affection-fueled wilding and really give school authorities a chance to flex their zero-tolerance muscles.

Oh, please! Would they rather have seen the girls SHOOT each other instead? Come on, people!
WOW! i would never think someone would sink this low!! that poor girl. STUPID SOCIETY!
come on people. if i were punished for everytime i hugged one of my friends at school, i would have been expelled by now. i have gotten in trouble for linking arms and holding hands, but thats because the person i was holding hands with was publicly gay, but trust me, im not.
OMG!As long as they aren’t kissing or touching eachother it shouldn’t matter. It’s just a hug they aren’t making out.
poor girl. what a society is this?
