A letter was recently sent home to parents of students who attend an elementary school in Indiana — and its message sent the community into a tailspin.

The school reportedly issued a “zero dating policy” for its fifth graders, giving students just days to end any and all “romantic” relationships with boyfriends and girlfriends.

“At this age, children are dating and breaking up within days of each other,” the letter read. “This leads to many broken hearts, which carry over into the classroom.”

Parents and guardians were asked to acknowledge the new policy, sign the letter and return it the next day.

One concerned mom named Briana Bower posted the letter on Facebook and said her 10-year-old son has a girlfriend at school — and she, along with many other confused and angered parents, wasn’t about to accept the policy without a fight.
