How long before we have a school bond levy or tax increase to pay for soap...?

Public schools aren't required to provide soap, according to the Maryland State Department of Education.

I love it...We can pass out condoms at schools but not soap!

You gotta love the mindset where the problem with soap is that it winds up slicking up the floor or gumming up the toilet seats, but there is no problem at all with the children who are doing this. It's the soap's fault. Remove the soap and you have removed the problem.

Yup--after lecturing my junior high son yet again on the virtues of using soap when he washes his hands at school (and keeping his fingers out of his eyes, etc.), he told me that there is NO soap in the dispensers at school. (I live in central Wisconsin.)

Schools are freakin' disease factories & they have no soap. Sounds like the bathroom facilities in the green onion fields of a third world country, doesn't it?

During flu season put out little, hotel size bars of soap.

Or, if they abuse it, let them get flu, and then shut down the schools for a few days. The administrators can catch up on paperwork.

Public schools aren't required to provide soap, according to the Maryland State Department of Education. Local administrators must find their own solutions to such problems, Vicki Taliaferro, a state school health services specialist, said.

Then they should save some real money, and stop even more vandalism, simply by not providing toilet paper.

Sure is less of a hygiene issue!

Most people don't wash their hands anyway, and this includes Professors etc. at colleges!! No doubt they are liberal prima donnas that think their bodily wastes smell like roses and are germ free!

What are they going to do about bad kids bringing their own ,probably stolen,soap into the skool to make a mess?

sheesh,soap control sounds alot like gun control....

"Public schools aren't required to provide soap, according to the Maryland State Department of Education."

But does one suppose that the Maryland State Health Department requires food service establishments to provide soap in their restrooms?

Gee........

And they wonder why, when MORALS and Self-responsibiltiy are forbidden by the liberals, when every act of criticism is prevented by "relativism" (nothing can be arbitrarily declared " wrong", therefore everything is "right"), and when truth is corrupted by political correctness . ....

Is it any wonder they can't wash their hands in school BECAUSE the schools can't keep soap containers filled?
