Texas school bans sunscreen because a child might drink it

As weird as this is, it’s exactly how my schools handled things growing up. Any “medicine” – sunblock, aspirin, cough drops, moisturizer, even saline solution for contact lenses – needed a doctor’s note or a parental note (it was a little vague). They were incredibly paranoid. This was central Ohio in the 80s and early 90s.
