An elementary school has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will.

"It causes a lot of conflict on the playground," said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school.


Just before the Judds moved out of East Orange, where schools had reached over 90% black, a popular playground game was called "Get Whitey."

Of course, once the Judds moved to mostly Jewish, Irish and Italian West Orange, the game became Get the Protestant.

In my urban school, dodgeball was renamed "let's get the white boys".
