Teachers are not allowed to touch children - for any reason. This, intended to protect children from abusive teachers, also prevents an 8-year-old from hugging their teacher (When did we begin to see THAT in a perverted light?) and allows teenagers who know this to brazenly disrupt classes and act out, knowing that they cannot be touched, and nothing of substance will happen to them.
It is indeed madness.
This world is firmly in Satan's grasp, and will encourage one extreme to follow another - I imagine he loves the pendulum effect.
I mourn for all the good in my country that is already lost, as the children mourned the passing of Narnia. The saddest thing is that so many people do not know that anything has been lost. I might not have known, if I hadn't become a world traveller and seen other places where those things were not (yet) lost.
