If my child were exposed to TB in school I would be mad as hell. My daughter was in elementary school when a lot of the boat people were allowed to come to California. Shortly thereafter she came home with lice. I was furious and went to the school asking why these people who had just come here were not screened for health and other things. The school told me it wasn't their responsibility and acted like I was wrong for complaining.

In other words the same thing is happening here only with worse medical infectious conditions and no one gives a rats ass.

And, the other story on glass in the baby food at HEB doesn't surprise me at all. They are a Texas grocery chain and IMO the worst store I have ever shopped in. They play games with pricing, they try to sell produce that is wilted, brown and they now cater to the mexican food palate.
