You may be right that the kids were being really nasty. I don't know either way. You're definitely right that kids can be cruel. I think the underlying problem there isn't a game, but poor supervision.
So maybe the school is banning tag temporarily, and using that as a way of supervising/disciplining the kids: "you better play nice or you can't play at all". That's certainly not the slant given by the article, but hey, shame on me for "believing" the slant given by the press anyhow.
