    I want to say I came across other articles this year from the UK about schools banning the game of “Tag”, Valentines Day cards, Birthday cakes, and most recently, packed lunches. It almost seems like England is mirroring the US in terms of hitting the ‘panic button.’ But we still have them beat in sex scandals.
