Dodgeball isn't just problematic, it's an unethical tool of 'oppression': researchers Thousands of academics are gathering in Vancouver for the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences from June 1-7. They will present papers on everything from child marriage in Canada to why dodgeball is problematic. In its Oh, The Humanities! series, the National Post showcases some of the most interesting research. The games children play in schoolyards are famously horrible, if you stop and think about them. Tag, for example, singles out one poor participant, often the slowest child, as the dehumanized It, who runs vainly in pursuit of the quicker ones. Capture the Flag is nakedly militaristic. British Bulldog has obvious jingoistic colonial themes. Red Ass, known in America as Butts Up, involves deliberate imposition of corporal punishment on losers. But none rouse the passions of reform-minded educational progressives quite like dodgeball, the team sport in which players throw balls at each other, trying to hit their competitors and banish them to the sidelines of shame. When the Canadian Society for the Study of Education meets in Vancouver at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, a trio of education theorists will argue that dodgeball is not only problematic, in the modern sense of displaying hierarchies of privilege based on athletic skill, but that it is outright miseducative. --- Sigless user alert ...

the fact that you can spend sigifnicant portions of the game just sitting there doing nothing do kinda make it a little questionable from an exercise perspective honestly. then again I suspect gym in lower grades of school is less about the exercise part and more about trying to burn off extra energy from kids so that theyre not running around in class

I stopped when I got to "dehumanized". Such a fucking overused term, and only used to give more weight to whatever bullshit is being complained about.

in my school we used foam balls for dodgeball. they were smaller and easier to throw and didnt hurt if you got his in the face with one.
maybe id feel differently if we used those giant rubber balls i see on TV but probably not --- yusketeer ... Copied to Clipboard!
