More Crocs Bans

A school in the Boston area wants to ban Crocs from the school citing a safety concern. According to the news report school officials at the Thompson Elementary School in North Andover sent notes home with some of the children telling them to leave the “loose-fitting shoes” at home.

The school nurse reported an increase in injuries as a result of Crocs slipping off kids feet while on the playground. I am all for personal responsibility, and when it comes to children, parents need to make appropriate decisions about what their kids shouldn’t wear, but is this crossing the line. I’m not saying the school should or should not dictate what the kids can and cannot wear. I just think our society is a little too lawsuit happy and I just see this as the school district trying to cover themselves. I’m not saying the school does not have the best interest of the kids in mind, I just think we are becoming a bunch of wimps.
