Joe Rosochacki - Hugs not Slugs

I don’t believe it, a hug,
is the way it’s supposed to be,
The lawyers and politically correct,
- they made a travesty,
For Megan Coulter.
For Middle School of Mascoutah, Illinois,
there no need for public affection,
It may result in detention,
She was giving hugs to her two friends,
She was bidding them farewell for the coming weekend.
Sam McGowen, district superintendent, was not to be rebuffed,
He stated clearly,
“the penalty is fair and that administrators in the school east of St. Louis
were following policy in the student handbook.”
Look,
At what the district is teaching their students.
The handbook states:
“Displays of affection should not occur on the school campus at any time.
It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment,
and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved.'

All You Need Is Love is what the song says,
Paul and John sang this melody,

Embraces are not illegal touching,
Mencia says De-De-De.
PC and lawsuits are to blame,
-for being human is never going to be same.

Better hugs not slugs.
