On the show…

A Douglas Diaries will begin the show. Then, more than 36 million licensed drivers on America’s roadways would flunk their written driver’s test if they had to take it today; that’s one in six of us.

How do you stack up? Don’t feel too bad, I’m a cop and my score was only 85%. I’m not so sure, however, they are asking the right questions?!

TAKE THE TEST HERE!

- Hour 1

In the second hour, we’ll talk about Evergreen Middle School’s new policy to prohibit “prolonged embraces.” According to school policy, the above is akin to sexual harassment. I don't velieve there's sexual harassment in middle school, and I don’t believe that hugs, no matter the length, can be offensive or inappropriate. If there is touching or rubbing going on, then that’s not hugging anymore- it’s fondling. If a couple is making out, then it’s no longer hugging- it’s making out.

I believe this is an asinine rule that is unenforceable, reactionary, and will only be counterproductive. If this new rule will accomplish anything, it will assure students will hug one another as long as possible, as often as possible, and do it to rebel against the new rule. If it is the truth the rule was enstated because some girls were feeling uncomfortable after being hugged for too long, then this rule does one other thing as well: It takes away the chance for a young lady to stand up for herself and say stop.
