IN LOONY LIBERAL-LAND, THIS IS A CRIME - UNLESS THEY ARE GAY
Growing up, did you have a BFF? Someone with whom you shared all your secrets with and could count on to be there no matter what?
While many of us consider this forging of a super-tight friendship in our youth to be a rite of passage, schools are now banning the concept of “best friend.”
Instead, they want students to focus on bonding with all of their classmates, so that no one feels left out or excluded.
The trend of banning best friends has been growing in recent years, with schools in both the United States and Europe adopting the policy.
The idea is once again receiving widespread attention because it was recently reported that the school where Prince George recently started kindergarten, enforces a “no best friends” rule.
“I don’t think it’s particularly healthy for a child to rely on one friend,” Jay Jacobs, the director of Timber Lake Camp, a co-ed sleep-away camp in Phoenicia, New York, told the New York Times. “If something goes awry, it can be devastating. It also limits a child’s ability to explore other options in the world.”
