This is a list of my thoughts on the 'bad' games:
Dodgeball - stupid game.
Tag - nothing wrong with it.
'Red Rover' - sounds a bit like Brittish Bulldogs - very stupid game.
Crack the whip - sounds stupid but not that bad (Edit: I mean 'not that bad' as in the fact that it doesn't harm the kids much).
Kill the Carrier - and I still can't see the difference bettween it and American Football - both stupid games.
They can't serieously take away tag, can they? What the hell else can little kids do at break? When I was iccle I remember playing tag quite a bit because there was NOTHING to do appart from play games.
I can see their logic: stop children from playing, children become too stupid to want to do anything constructive in their free time (i.e. they don't want to play games), school doesn't have to spend money on balls.
Big, long Edit:
Now here's a good idea I found in the article.
'Adult supervision is key, they say.'
What the **** usually happens in American schools? Do they tell the children to bugger off and play with sand?

This country is going to become a country of wusses if this so called 'policital correctness' and 'protect the children from every little hurtful thing' continues!

It isn't political correctness and it doesn't benefit the children. It is stupidity plain and simple.
