Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Middle School "Principal" Wearing A See-Through "Blouse" Decides That Letting Kids Hug Is "Too Sexual":

Comments

The most telling line is at the end. "If one student is feeling uncomfortable you have to stop it." Yes, by all means one student's comfort dictates for the whole school. Perhaps it's one student that doesn't get hugged that is uncomfortable.

The whore is wearing see-through clothing at a middle school and doesn't see any problem with it?

Oops. Didn't mean whore. Meant something else, but didn't want to drop the *-word on your website.

And those who can't teach, administrate.

What struck me as interesting was the reportage. You're face-to-face with a "principal" who wears attire that would be unacceptable in most office environments, yet it never occurs to you to question her judgement?

She's banning hugging in a middle school, yet shows up for an interview dressed like a trollop - and you, a "reporter", ignore the obvious disconnect?

Clearly, the best solution is burkhas for the girls.

I wondered if Couch had any reviews. There's one:

It's short:

"she is a gewd principal when u think about it, she treies hard and has to dew a lot of things, she is just kinda scary sometimes. just once u think about it she's not that mean."

Even allowing for twitter-like syntax, it doesn't say much for the school.

Here's another:

The use of hugging as bullying is certainly a new tactic. I'd say it has certain advantages over the old "beat-em-up-for-their-lunch-money" tactic. Maybe this is an example of how civilization is actually evolving.

Interesting find, ZZ - most of the reviews are a few years old, but it's nice to see that complaints about her enforcement of dress codes has declined over time. I always look for that in a school administrator....

The interesting comments of others!

This seems to me like a very stupid decision ,how are the children supposed to learn about the world and experiment if not for school and college.
