No Sunscreen for You

Did you know that applying sunscreen is against most schools’ policy?  Two young girls were recently not allowed to apply sunscreen, even though one suffers from a form of albinism, which is a genetic condition that makes her particularly sun-sensitive.  And guess what happened?  She got burned bad.  Wow, didn’t see that coming. The law started because the additives in lotions and sunscreens can cause an allergic reaction in children, and sunscreens are regulated by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug.  Amazingly, this law exists in 49 states nationwide.  I guarantee this got started by a ridiculous lawsuit.  And this is what happens.  More ridiculousness.
