I know we live in a progressively crazy world but every once in a while I can't help but think we're doomed. Shelley posted a story on Facebook showing that a United States soldier was denied access to his children's school by security because he was wearing a military uniform.
Picture this...a hired security guard turns away a soldier father because some of the kids might be offended by his uniform. I wonder what the security guard was wearing and if he/she was carrying a gun.
I'm just getting over the shock of seeing a list of banned foods from our local schools because a few of the children have allergies. It's a ridiculous list banning everything that is good for the children. I understand there are children with serious food allergies but doesn't it make more sense to let them eat their own lunches in a separate room than to limit the lunches of 99% of the students?? The school board also printed a list of acceptable lunch foods and they included potato chips and a whole lot of crap our children should not be eating at all.
Should milk be banned in our schools?? Should nutritious peanut butter sandwiches be forbidden and meat sandwiches (more expensive and more easily spoiled) be demanded instead?? Sometimes the people who make up these ridiculous rules haven't got a brain in their heads...so are we going to let them get away with it?
What I think will happen here is...Americans have a great respect and regard for their soldiers so idiots at the school who wouldn't allow the soldier father in will change their policy. The poor kids in my city will just have to eat crap because I can't see our local school board being forced to face facts instead of jumping on band wagons.
Some common sense in the States but some asinine rules in Canada.
