East Shore Middle School in Mildford, Connecticut, has gone entirely overboard with a "no touching policy."

Principal Catherine Williams sent a letter home with students after a kid was struck in the groin. Her solution to adolescent horseplay--- "Physical contact is prohibited to keep all students safe in the learning environment...Potential consequences and disciplinary action may include parent conferences, detention, suspension and/or a request for expulsion from school."

Ridiculous.
