This.
Ridiculous IMO. Where do you draw the line here?

I may sound a bit of a hippie here but more love/care/kindness does not do the world any harm, and no children are going to be scarred from seeing affection (if that's in any way part of the issue).

There was a rule at my primary school that pupils were not allowed to touch other pupils. No exceptions. If a friend was upset,you weren't allowed to give him or her a hug or even put your hand on their shoulder.

I thought it was horrible then as a 7 year old, and I still think It's horrible now.
