A few local dermatologists ought to seek to educate the morons that portray educators in that district.
So much stupidity.
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
[Edited]
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…

Please tell me this is satire...
As described, this sounds like lawsuit material, willful endangerment of children.
I doubt this kid is paler than my wife, our biological children, and I. We all have very Irish skin. That’s why you put sunscreen on them in the morning before school. ALso, you make sure they’re wearing a somewhat high necked t-shirt with sleeves. And at the very least, a baseball cap if you can’t get the kid to wear a more protective sun type hat. And if the kid were old enough to be putting on her own sunscreen, she was old enough to understand she needed to keep that hat on her head.
About the best sunscreen is zinc oxide.
You can eat zinc oxide till the cows come home...
Did the mother put sun screen on the child before she left for school that day? A good 50 or higher applied 30 min before going in the sun will usually last most of the day. If you’re swimming you might have to reapply on some areas. If my child were having a field day I would put sunscreen on myself when they were getting dressed and send them off with a hat or cap.
Are all North East Independent School District employees morons?
“We have to look at the safety of all of our students and we can’t allow children to share sunscreen,” she added.
And, you know it’s true... The good of the many outweighs the good of the one. It’s critical that we teach, manage, and monitor to the least capable among us. It would be a travesty that a single child’s needs should have a focus.
Is a sarc tag really necessary? This is preposterous.
Home School!
“Typically, sunscreen is a toxic substance,” Chancellor told the Fox affiliate, “and we can’t allow toxic things in to be in our schools.”"
"Once you're in a hole, keep digging ... and digging ... and digging...."
The article goes on to say that with a doctor's note the sunscreen is allowed -- and protective clothing is probably a very good idea, too. So there are a few things that mom might have done herself. But the school district clearly employs world-class (Obama-class) idiots. Typically, sunscreen is a completely inert substance, and that's why the FDA allows it to be advertised as a good thing to be put on babies.
According to the CDC's most recent statistics, 9,154 people in the United States died from melanomas of the skin, that's compared to 11,078 firearm homicides. The school district is a "gun-free" zone. And an "intelligence-free" zone, too.
what a bunch of flipping idiots at that school
Frightening these people are allowed to teach our children.
Another school district that should be shut down because it is run by dangerous dictators who know very little about a lot of things. Sunscreen is not as toxic as the cleaning supplies that are used to clean the classrooms.
Local schools are out of control.
Imagine the danger a young child is in when an adult says something dangerous and volitile ...like this or this
What about all those TOXIC teachers then? Or that crappy Mooch’s food? They are toxic. What next are jump ropes banned? Oh, I forgot our kids don’t get recess any more. And a rope is a weapon.
Consider that this is very liberal (blue) San Antonio TX; the place where that jerk Mayor Castro is being pushed to become part of the Obama regime to lead HUD. Idiots.
I grew up in Dallas TX and from about age 4 I was roaming the neighborhood barefoot, shirtless and in cut-off pants. We spent two weeks in Galveston every year at the beach. We never used any “Sun screen” lotions, nor did any of my friends or their families. We got great tans, but never got a severe sunburn because we knew when we were getting a little red and would head for some shade to cool down.
I’m nearing 72 and have worked years doing yardwork, etc., in just shorts as well as playing golf for decades in the hot, sunny weather. ....I truly don’t know anyone who has died from exposure to the Sun, although I read the medical scare things about skin cancer all the time (financed by the firms that make those lotions?). Sunlight provides necessary Vitamin D.
Yeah. Sunscreen. Slather this chemical all over yourself and cover whatever else you can with clothing on account of that star that God put up there in the sky is poisonous.
I recall field trips to the beach in grade school. Sometimes one or two would get burned...out of hundreds.
Aubrey’s not an idiot, I’m a bit surprised she tried to justify this stupidity. Of course, NEISD is widely know. For its “We don’t care what you think, just shut up and color” attitude toward parents.
