Sign of the apocalypse: Long Island middle school bans balls, citing student safety

So much for tossing the ball during recess — or playing tag. One middle school in Long Island has banned a list of popular playground items because the games promote roughness among the students, administrators said.

Weber Middle School in Port Washington fear that students will get hurt at recess. So, they issued a ban on footballs, lacrosse balls and any other type of ball that could lead to injuries on the playground. Fox News reported that administrators have even put the kibosh on tag.

Tag? Dodge ball? Catch?

This school board is nuts.

Actually the kids are having recess in a confined space due to an ongoing construction project and the school doesn't want kids getting hit by stuff while not paying attention.

Ah yes, you've invoked memories of tether-ball and the maypole. I hated those fucking things.
