Dodge Ball Banned

The town of Windham, New Hampshire' s school district has banned the gym game of dodge ball. The small southern New Hampshire town's school board decided to remove dodge ball as well as several other human target games from their curriculum to alleviate bullying.
Dodge ball is one of the cruelest of all playground games and it should be banned. The idea of human targets is fairly mean on its own but the game also targets slow kids, fat kids and acts as a way for aggressive bullies to get away with it and be lauded for their actions.
"We spend a lot of time making sure our kids are violence free," Windham superintendent Dr. Henry LaBranche said. "Here we have games where we use children as targets. That seems to be counter to what we are trying to accomplish with our anti-bullying campaign."
Games like this don't actually give kids exercise it give them anxiety and a lot of time watching other kids play. It is the exercise that is important not the winning and losing. Yes win and losing is part of life and kids need to learn to lose but they don't need to learn winning by picking off other kids one by one.
