“A school district in Washington state has decided to get rid of swings on the playground, and the reaction from parents in the community has been mixed.

Richland School District in Richland, Washington says that pressure from insurance companies is part of why they came to the decision to get rid of swings.

“As schools get modernized or renovated or as we’re doing work on the playground equipment, we’ll take out the swings, it’s just really a safety issue, swings have been determined to be the most unsafe of all the playground equipment on a playground,” said Steve Aagard of the Richland School District.”
