Public displays of affection in schools are under attack. Now I agree that kids making out in school is inappropriate, but a girl got detention for hugging her friends and showing empathy toward her fellow classmates. How is this a bad thing to the point of detention?

Kids need to be able to express themselves and learn appropriate social skills that involve the ability to show affection toward their peers.

There is a limit however, the girl in this article did nothing wrong. If schools are going to start banning these so called PDA's they need to do it based on what is appropriate social contact and what is not. An innocent hug between classmates is not detention worthy.
