1963 to 1968
Dodge Ball was a playground staple when I was growing up, in a more sane era.

These misguided efforts to protect the school board from lawsuits (which seems to be your thesis) under the guise of raising a generation of kumbaya-singing peaceniks is doing horrible emotional damage to the kids, IMO.

How long before they start expelling kids whose parents pay to teach them martial arts for "possessing inappropriate knowledge"? I read the other day about a 16-y-o who was arrested for possession of a handgun based solely on a photo he posted on myspace. His Principal was afraid he'd bring the gun to school, so they had him "pre-emptively arrested".

I'm SO glad I'm not a kid anymore, and doubly glad my kid's grown.
