For many of us, pretending to be your favorite super hero on the school playground was just part of growing up. That won’t be the case for a group of pre-schoolers at an undisclosed pre-school where playing as your favorite superhero has been banned.
Reddit user Oremar posted a May 17 letter brought home by his son that states, “Recently it has come to our attention that the imaginations of our preschool children are becoming dangerously overactive causing injuries within our pre-k community. Although we encourage creative thinking and imaginary play, we do not promote out [sic] children hurting one another. Wrestling, Super Hero play, and Monster games will not be permitted here at [name redacted]. In addition, please monitor the different media that your children may view. The re-enactment of televisions [sic] shows/movies are being done during active paly [sic] times in school.”
So, do you agree with the move or disagree with it?

Thank you,
