Thanks but I think I will stay here. Don't have my Confederate flag to fly.

Please OP stay in MD and don't move to VA.

Let's also replace pencils with crayons so the kids don't poke out an eye

Except they didn't ban them out of some philosophical belief that children should be pressured to become football players. They banned them because they are afraid a kid will get with one and get hurt.

I don't know any elementary schools in the area with baseballs at recess, just basketballs and rubber kickballs. Jesus, let the kids have some fun.

I applaud this school district for taking this step. Recess has become a nightmare at some schools. I do not send my child to school to become a football player. He is sent there to learn. Footballs, baseballs, and other hard objects have no place on the playground.
