3:59Now PlayingAn eighth grader in Florida has received detention for hugging her friend in school. The school has a strict no PDA policy, and the administration would not tolerate such reckless behavior. Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Do you support the school trying to limit PDAs or are they just overreacting? Let us know in the comments below.

“Before this week, 14-year-old Ella Fishbough had never gotten in trouble at school.
The cheerful, curly-haired eighth-grader’s undoing came when she learned that a male friend was having a bad day. As consolation, Ella put her arms around him in a hug.
“It was literally for a second,” the eighth-grader told Click Orlando. But that moment earned her a morning in detention — as well as a blemish on her formerly spotless disciplinary record.
Ella attends Jackson Heights Middle School in Oviedo, Fla., part of the Seminole County School District. The district’s code of conduct prohibits “inappropriate or obscene acts” including “unwelcome or inappropriate touching, or any other physical act that is considered to be offensive, socially unacceptable or not suitable for an educational setting.”
