I just think they are ridiculous. The school can't afford to upgrade to meet the minimum requirements of a comfortable school population, so they try to pin the overcrowdness on "unwanted contact" over the budget. Also, there is a distinct difference between hugging and giving a high-five. I could possibly, POSSIBLY, understand the argument stemming from girls not wanting to be hugged, but feeling embarrassed about complaining about it, but I have never seen a person turn down a righteous high-five for a job well done or as a friendly "hello".
