Boy Gets in Trouble at School with “No Touching” Policy

Boy’s Hug Lands Him in Trouble At School With “No Touching” Policy. 7th grader Hal Beaulieu “hopped up from his lunch table one day a few months ago, sat next to his girlfriend and slipped his arm around her shoulder. That landed him a trip to the school office.” Handshakes could be gang signs, and officials note, “in a culturally diverse school…families might have different views of what is appropriate.” The PTA President remarks: “”Even high-fives can get out of hand … someone can get bonked in the head.” (CNN News Video)
