CHEDDAR, England, June 23 (UPI) -- Some parents are criticizing a British headmaster for prohibiting his school's 1,200 students from kissing on campus.
Chris Richardson, headmaster of Kings of Wessex School in Cheddar, England, introduced a new rule stating students caught "snogging" at school for teens 13-18 will face time in detention, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
Some parents said the rule goes too far.
"Snogging is part of teenage life," one parent told The Sun. "Most schools probably frown on pupils kissing. But actually banning it under threat of punishment is going a step too far."
Richardson was unavailable for comment, The Telegraph said.
