no hugging

The New Jersey principal who told middle school students they were in a "no hugging school" has resigned.

A Monmouth County school superintendent says there's no policy against hugging in the district, and says the issue of middle schoolers being told by their principal not to hug each other anymore is being blown out of proportion.

Over the loud-speaker last week, hundreds of students at Matawan Aberdeen Middle School heard their principal announce they were in a "no hugging school."
