"NY state bureaucrats decree an end to kickball at summer camps"
I have to wonder where this protectiveness will stop...
At AmericanThinker.com, Rick Moran recently wrote about this New York Daily News story:
"State bureaucrats have identified a potentially deadly hazard facing our children this summer - freeze tag.
That's right, officials have decided the age-old street game - along with Wiffle Ball, kickball and dodgeball - poses a 'significant risk of injury.'
And classics like Capture the Flag, Steal the Bacon and Red Rover are also deemed dangerous in new state regulations for day camps.
'It looks like Albany bureaucrats are looking for kids to just sit in a corner in a house all day and not be outside,' said state Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-St. Lawrence County)."
