Parents have been banned from attending a school sports day for fear of "embarrassing" their children.
Head teacher Judith Wressel is introducing a less competitive format for the event at Maney Hill Primary School in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

This includes scrapping the egg and spoon and sack races, which apparently cause too much stress to those who don't win them.

Ms Wressel said in a letter to parents: "Taking part in traditional races can be difficult and often embarrassing for many children.

"This is why we now envisage a different outdoor activity event which will suit all children."

The decision is not popular with some parents.

Rob Busst, whose two sons attend the school, said: "They are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. This is political correctness gone mad.

"Children don't become scarred for life because they lose the egg and spoon race."

But they could easily be left with egg on their faces.

Rush will waste 3 hours of his life talking about this and blaming it on the liberals...actually this reminds me of the time Boorst (sp?) devoted an entire segment of his show to a story about a church holding a PC easter egg hunt. They made all the kids put all the eggs they found into one basket, then made sure every kid got the same # of eggs...regardless of how many they found on their own!!! PC can be taken to extremes, just like conservatism...
 
No, unlike you, I don't believe that people who are stupid / don't agree with you should be killed, but the parents do need to go to the principal or do whatever it takes to get her fired and her stupid PC regulations repealed.

Where is that sarcasm tag? I would hope you don't think I was really advocating the death of this lady. Ever heard of someone over exaggerating something to create a point? Nah!
