Nanny of the Month: Texas School Says Better Kids Burn Than Allow ‘Toxic’ Sunscreen!

In June, government
busybodies taught one book-loving little boy a hard lesson
about the letter of the law when his miniature “library” ran afoul
of city codes, while the control freaks across the pond worked to
keep jolly old England jolly by banning
memorial plaques in public parks because they’re “too
depressing”. But this month’s top dishonor goes to a school
district in Texas, which decided thatprotecting
students from “toxic” sunscreen is more important than
protecting them from the sun.

The San Antonio school district stands by its ban on sunscreen
despite one 10-year-old student getting a sunburn on a class field
trip after a teacher confiscated the dangerous lotion.

“Sunscreen is a toxic substance, and we can’t allow toxic
substances to be in our school,” said North East Independent
District spokesperson Aubrey Chancellor. “They could possibly have
an allergic reaction [or] they could ingest it. It’s really a
dangerous situation.”

More dangerous than a sunburn? More dangerous than skin cancer,
which, incidentally, the student’s grandfather passed away from
recently?
