Banned! Stuff that was banned when you were a kid.

some schools also banned them because it was easier for kids to hide stuff in long trench coats.

Oh god, I would give my left ovary to find this clip, but back in the day right after the Columbine shooting, Sally Jessie Raphel had a special episode showing how easy it was for kids to sneak guns into schools. At one point a teenager in baggy pants stood still on the stage pulling half a dozen guns out of his pants with the people in the audience gasping after each gun. Then, I shit you not, he pulled out a shotgun that was easily the length of his whole leg and the audience flipped. There was no fucking way anybody could sneak that many guns down their pants without getting noticed or blowing their dick off.
 
^ i think i saw that or something really, really similar. my dad was watching it as well and commented on how you really couldn't smuggle all that. like, how well would you walk with a hunting rifle in your pants?
 
My school never actually banned pokemon cards. Went around like crack.
 
Banned ramen. Kids ate the stuff like anything. Basically kids would buy a package of it ; dump the seasoning into it crumple it up shake it and eat it. So school sent a note home telling parents how unhealthy it was.

( off topic) I actually bought some it was more like the stuff at the Asian store and oh dear god how spicy the one I got yesterday the seasoning was a nice angry red

Middle school: carrying your backpack between classes, you have to raise your hand before throwing away your lunch tray

My middle school did the same thing. You were only allowed to have your backpack on while entering or leaving the school and you had to carry your books and pencils and whatnot around in a clunky washtub. It was supposed to teach us discipline or something.

For a while we also had to wear clear or mesh backpacks to show we weren't carrying drugs or guns around.
 
Well.... at one school I went to, I couldn't bring a non-clear backpack. So in 3rd grade, I had a Crayola backpack.
 
I went to a public high school but my principal was a #faceist

banned:
wearing neck ties without a collared shirt (avril lavigne was really popular--this was 2003--and people wore it because of it so the principal thought it meant u did ecstasy)
talent shows (because omg someone might drop their pants or curse)
some gay guy was forced to remove his "ass. manager" (short for assistant manager) button
not only black trench coats, but also those long black cardigans girls wear
saying "sucks" or "freaking"
eating in class (I got a detention for it)
also a year after I graduated a senior got expelled for having an airsoft gun in his truck
 
All of the schools I went to banned wearing hats. For some reason. (What, were the kids going to smuggle drugs and guns in by wearing it under the hat like a fucking cartoon? More "OMG, gangz" hysteria?)
Also, the schools in Virginia have made it so that if you get attacked at school, you can't fight back. Literally, if you try to defend yourself you get in as much trouble as the attackers.
Side note, the elementary school that I went to in Alaska let us sled down a hill in the schoolyard on these flimsy plastic sleds. It was a pretty steep hill actually. And the sleds were literally a thin slab of blue plastic. It was awesome.
Also, snowball fights were technically banned, but it wasn't that enforced.
 
I remember yard darts. I had a set when I was a kid, and it was a new set so that tells you how old I am.

When I was in Jr. High Pogs got banned at my school as being a form of gambling. My parents wouldn't let me watch Pee Wee Herman.
 
We also had a nut ban in school because there were, like, 15 kids severely allergic to some sort of nut. It was fairly lenient though compared to similar, the kitchen was completely nut free and you couldn't bring any nuts beyond that point and so were the hot lunches and if you did bring something with nuts, your lunch box had to be clearly labeled and you had to sit somewhere else as an effort to avoid cross contamination. You also had to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards and brush your teeth so it discouraged people, but it was the compromise the school could come up with, with the people so adamant on bringing nuts without outright banning them by making it more inconvenient.

In my public elementary school in 1992, the kids with peanut allergies had to stay away from anyone who ate nuts, which in hindsight was a really shitty thing to do. My private elementary school just outright banned nuts. Although by highschool they were allowed since hopfully at that age students would be old enough to not be dicks and try to kill people with allergies.
 
My nieces school went a bit overboard with banning allergies no nuts or chocolate and I dont know if dairy is banned either or not.
 
My cafeteria in high school (private school, lunches + salad bar served every day) took away peanut butter as some students and a teacher had serious allergies but offered homemade sunflower butter as a substitute.

Growing up I was not allowed to watch Sailor Moon or Power Rangers because ~*violence*~. My mom had no problem with me watching CourtTV with her though, and we used to reenact cases with my finger puppets. GTA was also banned until I was 14 when she brought Vice City home from Best Buy and told me that she realized that it was really hypocritical to ban media and that she also really wanted to play it. :heart-full:
 
Guns and toy guns were banned in my household because my parents are democratic liberals who don't like gun violence.

However, when my brother bought his own Nintendo 64 he was allowed to play stuff like Turok and Goldeneye for some reason.
 
nut eaters have to sit at the back of the bus and drink from the nut eater fountains
 
Soda cans and bottles were banned from my elementary school when I was a kid. Why you ask? Well simply put we used the little caps/tabs you used to open the cans as a kind of a makeshift currency sorta like fallout. Since most kids at our school didn't bring very much money at all to school, we somehow got the idea to pay eachother off with bottle lids and stuff in exchange for things we wanted from eachother. So this actually led to kids hustling in those little cheap toys from drug stores as a way to get bottle lids and there were actually a few kids who got mugged for them. So naturally after all this drama they banned soda completely from our school and instead forced us to drink juice pouches and milk cartons.

Holy shit, your school went full Fallout.
 
G.I. Joe was banned in my house. My mother was going through grad school at the time and it did something to her brain. I used to be able to watch G.I. Joe until one day she went off on "white Anglo-Saxon neocolonialsm dressed under a facade of jingoism," and that was that.

Honestly, she was probably right, but damn it if I wasn't pissed that I couldn't oggle Baroness anymore.
