I vividly recall "No PDA" rules in school. As I'm sure we've got some students and former students gracing the forums, what does everyone think of this?
I think having rules like this in place reallys sets the institution up for hypocrisy. For instance, there's a no hugging rule in effect at Mike's school. Mike's mother dies. His friends show their support by hugging him. The school does nothing to punish them, because in this instance the affection wasn't sexually related. But the school's rules don't say "No Public displays of sexual affection" the rules state, more generally, "No Public displays of affection". I think to successfully implement these rules, the school's need to be more specific. Personally, I think my emotional growth was stifled by the school's not allowing students to show each other that they cared about each other. It's not like by having my arm around someone I'm saying I want to have sex with them.
Opinions?
