I don’t believe it, a hug, <br />is the way it’s supposed to be, <br />The lawyers and politically correct, <br />- they made a travesty, <br />For Megan Coulter. <br />For Middle School of Mascoutah, Illinois, <br />there no need for public affection, <br />It may result in detention, <br />She was giving hugs to her two friends, <br />She was bidding them farewell for the coming weekend. <br />Sam McGowen, district superintendent, was not to be rebuffed, <br />He stated clearly, <br /> “the penalty is fair and that administrators in the school east of St. Louis <br /> were following policy in the student handbook.” <br />Look, <br /> At what the district is teaching their students. <br />The handbook states: <br /> “Displays of affection should not occur on the school campus at any time. <br /> It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment, <br /> and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved.' <br /> <br />All You Need Is Love is what the song says, <br />Paul and John sang this melody, <br /> <br />Embraces are not illegal touching, <br />Mencia says De-De-De. <br />PC and lawsuits are to blame, <br />-for being human is never going to be same. <br /> <br />Better hugs not slugs. <br /> <br />(11-8-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hugs-not-slugs/
