Now, one 12 year-old girl received detention for giving her friend a quick hug and her mom is fighting mad about.
More nutty school administration rules.

Isn't Australia a bastion of liberalism?

Figures.

They should have expelled her. Seriously, apparently America is not the only country with school systems that need to get their priorities straightened out.

Ah, yet another symptom of American's moronic puritanistic roo-oh, she's from Australia? Huh.

I don't know about Austrialia, but in the United States, you can buy a hockey mask and an AK47 from Walmart, but if they refuse to sell pornography.

The Religious Right gets infuriated over sex in video games, yet take their kids out to watch Saving Private Ryan.
