George Earhart, the assistant superintendent for administration with the Augusta County Schools, said Chapstick is considered an over-the-counter medication by the school board. The board has a policy regarding such medicines. He said Chapstick could be allowed if a physician asked for a student to use it, and it was administered by a school nurse.If you were lured off by the link to read the story, rejoice in the first comment posted there. It's a gem.

I say fight absurdity with absurdity. Get all 680 students to have a doctors permission to use Chapstick. That requires the school to store all 680 tubes, individually labled to prevent cross-contamination, and have all 680 students line up so the school nurse can apply it for them. That should make the point well enough.
Chapstick: a gateway drug.
Forgive me, but... Oh, my aching ass!
ReplyDeleteI don't wish to shoot them, but oh my God pistol whipping sounds about right. And sure enough, they'd freak out over a gun on school property. :)
