Nanny (government) knows best!

You just can't make this up.

" Mom always said to "wash up" before eating.
On Thursday, state legislators took a big step toward making Mom's word the law for Chicago Public School students. The Illinois House passed a proposal from state Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago) that would require CPS students to wash their hands with antiseptic before meals at school. "

Oh great - we are going to our kids crimanals now if they don't wash their hands?

Don't get me wrong. As a parent I know what kinds of diseases lurk in the average elementary school...and schools should help reinforce the parents instructions regarding washing hands, but does it need to be legislated?Aren't there more important things that the Illinois legislature should be working on? Things like balancing the state budget?????
