You bet. Just had an argument with our (female) school principal who wanted to ban poison ball. Why? One kid (a boy) got hit on his ear, and it turned red. I say, let each parent decide whether their kids can play these games. I WANT my sons to get bruised occasionally and to learn how to get up and keep going. They're black belts in karate, and they belong to Boy Scouts, which is one of the last non-wimp kids' organizations around. In scouts, my sons have spent hours paddling canoes in cold pouring rain, they've climbed mountains and rappelled back down, they've camped in below zero weather, and they've dealt with several emergency situations that required quick thinking and toughness. And they're turning into young men. A lot of the schools are either being feminized or queerized. And it serves our sons poorly.
