It looks like two extremes are battling it out. 'Keep your damned hands off her Biff' was once the noble stand taken by a gallant young gentleman. We should be able to count on the good judgement of school officials to intercede where violence seems the only other effective means of protecting young girls from the handling of boys. I have three daughters and its never been a problem. Part of the reason is that they make their boundaries known and not with little 'stop it' comments followed by giggles, which we used to refer to as 'stop it some more' mixed messages. Their friends describe them as fun and polite people to hang out with. They are conservative and it's never interfered with their ability to 'fit in.' They have always had way more social invitations than they can keep up with. Different girls have different boundaries and they all seem to have been able to work their differences out within reason. Annoying kids who violate the boundaries of other kids ought to be subject to effective disciplinary action, but you don't go after a housefly with an elephant gun.
