No touchy!

Okay, a deviation from marketing. Principal Catherine Williams of East Shore Middle School in Milford, Connecticut has implemented a no touching of any kind policy for her students after an incident where a student was injured in the groin and had to be hospitalized.
Are you kidding me?
Me thinks that the principal's inability to enforce the existing "no kicking fellow students in the groin" policy is the root of the trouble.
Here's a message to the administration.
Fire your principal. If she has so little disciplinary control over her kids that she needs to implement an unenforceable policy of no physical contact, she is ineffective as a principal.
Obviously the current policy of no kicking in the groin was not enforced. Can no one in the district see that this is not a problem with the kids? It is an administrative problem where the students have grown accustomed to a lack of disciplinary control. I have kids who attended schools with disciplinary troubles. Increased oppression of the kids was never the answer. Competent administration was.
Is there no one in authority in the district who can see this?
