A Connecticut middle school principal has laid down the law: You put your hands on someone -- anyone -- in any way, you're going to pay.

A violent incident that put one student in the hospital has officials at the Milford school implementing a "no touching" policy, according to a letter written by the school's principal.

East Shore Middle School parents said the change came after a student was sent to the hospital after being struck in the groin.

Principal Catherine Williams sent out a letter earlier in the week telling parents recent behavior has seriously impacted the safety and learning at the school.

"Observed behaviors of concern recently exhibited include kicking others in the groin area, grabbing and touching of others in personal areas, hugging and horseplay. Physical contact is prohibited to keep all students safe in the learning environment," Williams wrote.

Students and parents are outraged. They said the new policy means no high-fives and hugs, as well as horseplay of any kind. The consequences could be dire, Williams warned in the letter.

"Potential consequences and disciplinary action may include parent conferences, detention, suspension and/or a request for expulsion from school," Williams wrote.

Many think the school's no tolerance policy goes way too far. Others said it's utterly ridiculous.

"Now it's almost as if it's a sanitized school. Where you have to keep your distance from everybody? And that's not what school is about," one father said.

"What if they are out on the playground at recess, or in gym class?" parent Kathy Casey wondered. "You know, gym class is physical."

I feel sorry for the casual buddies in the hall who want to high five, the couples holding hands and other non-harmful things as such.

But damn, that's pretty harsh :O

I don't even believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Ain't nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out.

I honestly think its a good decision. High fives are still allowed and all, but if someone touches you and you don't like it, BAM, you can charge them.

given that the person you high-fived felt insulted or hurt, yes

if you high-five a buddy, chances are he won't charge you

PDA is a general term encompassing all means of visible companionship (anything from kissing to a quick hug), but even then middle school kids suck face as much as high shool kids these days.

article says nothing to suggest that it's up to the students to decide what gets reported and lots to suggest that even harmless mutual shows of affection are prohibited
