Via TIME: 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.”
"OK, I know to some this isn't a big story, but just want to let you know that the wussification of the American children continues in the libtard world. I would like to know how any grown person can do and say this stuff to kids with a straight face? Tug of Peace, really? How about "Tug on Libtard's Neck"? I'd be like, yeah, you want peace, I'll give you peace, a piece of this as my fist makes contact with their face. "Tug of War" is too violent and confusing? I prefer "PEACE THROUGH STRENTGH". I'd love to see a list of celebrity, media, or academic douchebags who feel their self-esteem was damaged by a tug-of-war trauma. Here is the possible list:
1.Toure' (they used him as the rope)
2. Chrissy Matthews (pulled into a mud puddle and started thinking he was black)
3. Cher (smacked her head on a rock--explains the whacko)
4. Chris Hayes (nobody picked him 'cuz he's girly)
5. Joy Behar (her face scared the shit out of everybody, and there was no game)
6. Rachel Maddow (played for the boys team, but they lost anyway)
7. Ed Schultz (showed up drunk and cursed everyone)
8. Sandra Fluke (scratched her knee and wanted everyone to pay her medical bills)
9. Barack Obama (got confused and started tugging something else)
10. Michelle Obama (took away her Jack's Sausage Links so she ate everyone)
Holy shit, what is this country coming too? We are engineering a nation of pussies. One student at a time. We were taught that you win some, you lose some, and not "everyone gets a
participation trophy". When I played these "violent" games my participation trophies were scrapes,lumps,and bruises,and I wore them proudly,so did the rest of the gang. We understood that there were winners and losers, and while we all wanted to win, the fun was in the playing. Libtards don't understand the concept. Why do you think so many of their politicians are perverts. And todays children are the future "men" that will have to defend the nation, although I think it will be conquered by our enemies before they reach adulthood if the libtards wusses continue to have their way. This is what happens when the flower children of the 1960's are in charge! This nation really is doomed." MC
