This tragedy occurred on Oct. 9, 2012 in CANADA. All 50 us states have laws that allow children to carry inhalers. The canadian laws say all medication has to be kept in office (or did, they have since changed these laws). Faux outrage.
Yeah, no. It is not "faux". That they ever had the rule is a testament to their hubris and stupidity. To think that they know better than the kid or their parents isn't a policy mistake, but a moral one.
I was in school with a couple kids that had asthma. It's insane watching an asthmatic child running around during gym class then having to be escorted to the office to use their inhaler. I didn't understand very well at that age and considered it odd. Now I see the stupidity it truly is and shake my head at such irresponsible laws.
i dont understand the point of the extreme emphasis on it being in canada. Is a canadian child dying to negligent homicide less valid as a target of outrage compared to an american child?
@adam44 I was specifically refering to blue lagoons comment.
His response to famousone's anger was to dismiss the outrage by saying that it was 10 years ago, and then emphasis with full caps that it was in canada, not the US, backing that up by saying it couldnt have happened during the same time period in the US, hence my questioning
"i dont understand the point of the extreme emphasis on it being in canada. Is a canadian child dying to negligent homicide less valid as a target of outrage compared to an american child?"
also "we're talking about incidents in Canada so"
you are the only one so far talking about other incidents in canada, famousone hasnt and bluelagoon added nothing about canadian incidents other than to add heavy emphasis that the one in the post wasnt in the US, which i questioned the reasoning for above.
