Remember when you would be ins school and a teacher would politely ask you to” “TAKE OFF THOSE SUNGLASSES, MISTER!”
I know I do. But now, in an Australian school, the nanny-staters have made it mandatory:
The move is aimed at protecting young eyes from the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet rays, and education authorities say they are considering adopting the plan at all state schools.
The headmaster of Sydney’s Arncliffe Public School, where sunglasses are now compulsory for children from kindergarten through Year 6, said they had no problems wearing the glasses in the playground.
It’s only one school, but they are thinking of taking the program national. Give it time and you will see it here. Then your tax dollars will be paying for a broken school system with really nice shades.
