The idea should be what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. The idea that affection is inappropriate is wrong. When students touch inappropriately that is NOT affection.

Well, first we have to define each of those terms...animosity and afection? Schools should be concerned about BOTH of those, but only if it is interfering with the safety or education of other students.
I don't think a hug or kiss is a bad thing, nor is holding hands. Obviously, though, if there is a couple making out in the middle of class or other inappropriate time, that's a different thing. If two people are holding hands while walking down the hall, they need to be aware of other people and make room for them to walk by without slamming them into a wall or locker.
But, like I said before, there has to be a consensus on what each of your terms mean before we can debate about it.

I think everyone has their own ideas of what is or isn't acceptable. When I was in high school, I was somewhat put off by the kissing in the hallways, but mostly because I wasn't one of the participating parties. But seriously, at the times I observed couples engaging in PDA(ffection), I felt almost like I was intruding on their private time together. I resented the fact that they "made" me feel that way, because I was in a public area. I mean...get a room!
I think as long as the PDA(ffection) is socially acceptable by community standards, the schools should lay off. But the schools and educators need to agree upon what the community standard IS, and effectively communicate that to the students and parents.

I know where you are coming from. Teachers are more worried about you holding hands and hugging in the hallways than the fights that are in the commons that happen everyday. Schools need to get their priorities straight. Everyday people get beat up, harrassed, stabbed and school shootings are on the rise. But all they are stressing about is the kids that are holding hands and hugging while kids are walking around strapped just waiting for the wrong look from the right person.

Very true. It has been a weird rule. It also is one that I have seen broken just about every day without anyone caring.
