You know, in many cases she is correct. A lot of people are too stupid to think for themselves because they are lazy and have fallen into the habit of letting others think for them. Those people believe what all the commercials tell them, and they believe the liberal lies the RATS spout.
Parents and teachers (and school nurses) have a lot of power when it comes to brainwashing children. Your daughter is a smart cookie, and you are right to counter what the nurse had to say. She was out of line! It isn't her job to bias your child in such a way.
elf-boy has come home last week and this week with papers and booklets the kids complete in class regarding safety (hot stove, dangerous chemicals, hazards such as toys left out, etc.). Today, the booklet was about drugs and strangers. Yes, taking "street drugs" are bad, but my son was concerned that the medecine he takes every morning, with my supervision, is bad. I had to redirect that his medicine is a prescription from his doctor, and it is not bad to take drugs that you are supposed to take.
medecine?
Medicine!
