Is it really big news that an Indian school has banned its students from kissing? The story was carried in today's Irish Examiner. My high school had such a ban in place when I was there 25+ years ago.
The Dean of Discipline, Mrs. Gertrude Durand, used to frequently announce over our intercom system that all public displays of affection beyond holding hands were forbidden. Often she'd say, "PDAing is not allowed". Sometimes she'd wander the halls shouting this out as she walked. Occasionally she'd come across a young couple violating the "No PDAing" policy and she'd give a firm tap on the back of the boy. Have no fear, this never happened to me - not even close.
I wonder if this (my school) was news in the old Cork Examiner back in the 70s?
