Boo!

Can you believe school officials trying to outlaw booing at high school sporting events? Damn! I hadn't realized that the "positive-reinforcement, every-child-is-special" movement had even dumbed down sports.

Gosh! Don't want those high school jocks to get their feelings hurt! I mean, if they did, they might take out their frustration on smaller kids!

The organization that oversees high school sports in Washington is considering rules for fans that could ban booing and offensive chants.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has not made an official ruling, but has discussed guidelines to crack down on negative conduct, a spokesman said.

It reminds me of the Kurt Vonnegut story "Harrison Bergeron". Here's the intro:

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.
