Preschool Bans Superhero Play

It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game ever starts.
Addison Walker

In a story that generated lots of controversy (with strong opinions expressed on both sides of the issue), The Huffington Post reported...

"An unnamed preschool recently sent home a notice to parents explaining that their children’s 'dangerously overactive' imaginations were forcing the school to ban some forms of imaginary play in the classroom.... The notice, which included a crossed-out picture of well-known superhero characters, said that the preschool generally encourages creative thinking, but that injuries in the classroom had led to a ban on 'wrestling, superhero play, and monster games.'"
