Johnston County Schools Ban Lip Balm! (teacher, cell phone, winter)

[North_Raleigh_Guy]

Is this for real? You can only have lip balm if your parents give you a note to bring to school?

Parents question Johnston County's ban on lip balm :: WRAL.com

I'm starting to wonder what's going on in Johnston County.

That's just poop on a stick, right there.

Kids go to school to learn ,not play with their lips all day. Next thing we know they will be taking away their cell phones so they cant text during class, and after, and before, and during lunch, and in the bathroom.

I am taking a wild guess that you don't have kids that get very chapped
lips in the winter.

I sensed a tone of sarcasm in Nativechief's post. Perhaps you didn't.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

This is ridiculous. My son's lips get very chapped in the winter, so bad that he looks like a clown. He WILL

I agree, this is stupid, but....write a note to the teacher, she'll put it in a pile with the rest, problem solved.

Crazy.

Why didn't they just ban lips in school?
