Game of tag banned in Santa Monica school

I grew up without seat belts or bike helmets. How rapidly our concerns for safety have multiplied since then!

The article went on to cite safety, and indicated that the school's stated reasons for disallowing the game were safety-related.

Yeah - but it did seem as if the actual reasons were the ones stated so clearly in the portion of the article that I cited.

It still seems kind of over the top to me.

[nods] On second glance, I figure the school was backpedaling when mentioning skinned knees as a reason. And in ANY case, I agree with you completely that it's overboard.
