BK Charter School Says NO TOUCHING (Well, Hugging)

The Brooklyn Prospect Charter School in Windsor Terrace has jumped on the recent parental "ban wagon" by stomping out hugging between classes. According to the Brooklyn Paper, Principal Dan Rubinstein established the ban to prevent students from hanging out in the hallways between classes. “It’s a time, place, and manner thing," he said. We don’t want students spending too much social time between class."

Yes, I'm sure it's hard to imagine a middle school rife with tardiness because of excessive amounts of hugging. I mean, this age group is a prime time for B.O. (or worse, the Axe spray that covers it up) and acne. And even though the hormones start raging, everyone's way too insecure about these things to actually act on their lusty ways. Yet apparently these rule don't apply in the Magic Kingdom of Brooklyn.

She's done it twice before and she's got plenty more room on her belt for a few more notches (that was not a fat dig, Pat, I swear). 

I'm not going to bore you with school numbers like 107 or 321 (cause honestly it just puts that old Ludicrious "I've Got Ho's" song on repeat play in my head) but my FIPS colleague Allison was right, Kindergeddon has begun and the venerable New York Post was the first to break the story that my girl, Pat is out to get the mofos who are doing asinine things like paying electric bills of strangers just go get access to a desirable Slope addresses.
