But isn't it somewhat sad that they have to do that? We as a society have had to adapt to protecting ourselves against sue happy persons. This same day that these kids were suspended I'll bet there were kids in colder climates tossing snowballs at one another like it was a natural act. When I was a kid I can't recall anyone ever getting anything other than a few feelers hurt by a snowball. When that happened an apology was often offered and accepted.
Even these days I'll see adults leaving work on snowy days tossing a snowball or three about the parking lot as people clear the windshields.
