MAYNARD, Mass. -- A family in Maynard is outraged after their 5-year-old daughter was forced to write a letter denouncing hugging after a classmate embraced her. NewsCenter 5's Amalia Barreda reported that Brenda Brier and Michael Marino pulled their daughter, Savannah, out of school early Wednesday. The couple was angry after a meeting with officials at the Greenmeadow Elementary School in Maynard, where Savannah is in kindergarten. At issue is a hug Savannah said she got on the playground from a friend named Sophie. Savannah hugged Sophie back. The hugs resulted in Savannah having to write a letter, complete with teacher corrections, that read, "I touch Sophie because she touch me and I didn't like it because she was hugging me. I didn't like when she hugged me." "She said, 'I'm really sad that I got in trouble for hugging,'" Brier said.

Lesbianism Nipped in the Bud
This story is just more proof that the reason kids are getting stupider and stupider is that their teachers are getting stupider and stupider.

I worked in Maynard for a year in a previous life. Southern California and Mass. are two places that are like different countries compared to the rest of the U.S. In California's case, it's not necessarily a bad thing. They gave us the Beach Boys, Ronald Reagan, traffic stopping for jaywalkers, and Trader Rick Junior.
But Mass. is a different deal. They are crazy ultra-liberal useful idiots there, when I lived there, and now as well. Just look at who they elect to the Senate every year. They lead the Nation in stupidity. Plus, they don't have a summer.
Please don't think that everyone in Massachusetts is a left-wing crazy! I lived in Maynard for a year before moving to the (then) army town of Ayer. I love it here. And I read the Lone Ranger's blog regularly. And I don't vote for Kennedy or Kerry!
And we do so have a summer. It's spring that we don't have :-)

I grew up in North Dakota. Spring and Summer are overrated.
