Sanitizing childhood -- schools ban the game of tag

If you doubt that we've become a suit-happy society, read this story about a Massachusetts school district banning the game of tag in playgrounds. Administrators fear kids will get hurt during the game and, as a consequence, their parents will sue.
Is this sad or what?
Children are supposed to fall and skin their knees and cry over boo-boos. We'll be raising a generation of coddled, privileged nincompoops.

I cannot believe it -- so our kids will NEVER have any bumps, bruises, dissapointments, failures or bad experiences....

I am wondering how THIS will prepare them for life....not very well, I fear.
