A Texas mom is angry over a school ban on sunscreen that she says led to her daughter getting a severe sunburn during a field trip.

The North East Independent School District has the restriction because it considers sunscreen toxic, and fears kids will eat it, parent Christy Riggs, of San Antonio, told Fox News.

“The reality is: Children don’t eat sunscreen and they’re not going to,” Riggs said.

School district spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor told ABC News that allergic reactions to sunscreen are one of the numerous reasons the district does not allow sunblock in its 72 schools.

“We don’t want students sharing sunscreen,” Chancellor told the station. “If students get it in their eyes or react badly to the sunscreen it can be quite serious.”

The district treats sunscreen as a medicine, Chancellor said, and requires a doctor’s note to apply it at school.

Riggs, whose father died of skin cancer this year, says the ban is hurting the schoolchildren.

“We want to teach our children to eat healthier, yet we have them outside and let them burn,” Riggs said.

“I’m not saying all children should be required to bring sunscreen,” Riggs said. “But skin cancer is on the rise and reapplying at school shouldn’t be an issue.”

According to KCTV 5, Chancellor said parents who know their children may be outdoors should send them to school fully covered in sunscreen.

Officials at Northeast ISD said they review policies every year and may revisit the sunscreen ban.

Wow.. But really, dont send your kid on the field trip with these idiotic policies in place.. It's probably driven by a heavy hispanic population or someone non-white in a position where they can covertly abuse us.

my son stayed overnight at his friends over the weekend to celebrate school finishing for the year. That kid has a pool, so they played out in it almost the entire time. My kid came back pretty red, but we forget to send him with sunscreen.







his friend is indian (dot, not feather) so the parents didn't even think to put on sunscreen :lol:

Yeah, that sounds far worse than skin cancer right enough :-k

I know that part of San Antonio well. My high school used to whip that ass in sports. If you are curious the Northeast ISD is in the most liberal area of San Antonio. It's where all the liberals hide from the Mexican population. Well, there and Alamo Heights.

My daughter has red hair and blue eyes. Her highly paid, heavily conservative teachers (private school daycare) cover her in sunscreen from head to toe and we couldn't be happier.

So I guess their Mexican restaurants suck ass too.

Compared to the South side yeah, they suck real bad.

[DemonGeminiX]

'Cause there's no Mexicans running them.

[Muddy]

Houston is the arm pit of Texas.

[KevinD]

San Antonio is the armpit, :lol:
El Paso is the buthole

[Acid Trip]

San Antonio is the armpit, :lol:
El Paso is the buthole

:lol:

DFW is the head, San Antonio is the penis, Austin the belly button, and Houston is DEFINITELY the armpit.

[Hal-9000]

could we please have a helpful graphic illustrating these various body parts? :lol:

[Muddy]

I thought San Antonio wasnt too bad..?

[KevinD]

Actually, all my life, I've heard Port Arthur referred to as "the armpit of Texas"
i'll agree that Austin is the bellybutton, esp when it comes to contemplating one's navel.

Muddy (et al) DFW (Dallas/FtWorth), Houston, and San Antonio are the biggest "rival" in the state. It's all just friendly BS until somebody pulls out the guns, :lol:
