Okay, this is stupid too.

Listen, D&D does not "promote gang activity". If you have gangs in your prison (or school!), taking away their games/hats/jewelry/whatever isn't going to stop the gangs, it's just going to make them find another way to organize themselves.

Duh.

D&D as a gang recruiting tool? Oh, no. That's just begging to get your ass kicked in jail.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I've played DnD. I currently am playing in an Iron Heroes universe though. I find this ludicrous. I actually think tabletop roleplaying games are fantastic educational tools. If I had children, I'd play with them in a simpler ruleset. It teaches basic math skills, cooperation, planning, encourages creativity, requires moderate reading skills, and is fun. I don't know why people keep wanting to call it evil.

Neither do I. It's a bit geeky to be evil, isn't it?
