But scattered twigs and slippery leaves are now considered a hazard.

What is so special about the handful of ‘inspectors’? Unless they are being groomed for jobs in the NANNY STATE.

Why not send all the kids out at together and just tell them to ‘be careful’? It is, after all, the teacher’s responsibility to monitor them. Guess she/he will just stay in the class room on the computer.

They might be better served to be warned about pedophile predators.

A thousand years under the yoke of Islam will be a well deserved lesson.

Maybe a couple of the little tikes should band together and form an insurance company to protect their classmates from such “risks”.

At least they’d learn a bit about capitalism.

Of course, I’m sure the school would then demand that everyone was entitled to compensation (it’s a “human right” doncha know) whether or not they took out a policy, so the insurance tikes would quickly be bankrupt.

So then they’d learn a bit about socialism too.

Not only that, but they are creating and imprinting a “victim mentality” in the minds of the young skulls of mush.

Man, I loved doing that. I remember playing with my arm in cast from crashing into a tree with my sled.
