    Banning school children from using nicknames is the most petty overreach of the “culture wars” I’ve yet seen.

    It would be funny if it weren’t for the fact it will likely cause hurt and harm to a vulnerable minority.

      Hopefully kids are rebellious enough to actively all use nicknames. Can’t punish 2/3 of students all at the same time without causing some major problems.

      Which is precisely why they’re doing it. As always, the cruelty is the point.
