Public school confiscates asthma inhalers; 12 year old boy dies as a result

A 12 year old Canadian boy passed away from a severe asthma attack, which could have been avoided if the inhaler his doctor prescribed had been on hand, instead of in the Principal's office under lock and key.

Ontario mom urges schools to let asthmatic kids carry puffers

School policy was to keep the inhalers under lock and key and staff repeatedly confiscated spare inhalers from Ryan, added Gibbons.

"I received many a phone call stating Ryan had taken an inhaler to school and they found it in his bag and would like me to come pick it up because he wasn't even allowed to bring it home with him," she said. "There's supposed to be one in the office and that's the only one he can have. I didn't understand why."

We can all thank the insurance industry for that. Always concerning themselves with liability, and thus a threat to their bottom line.

These are the same people that write the laws for congress to pass. Congress doesn't write the laws they vote on, they are written by lobbyists for major industries like insurance and banking.

Guess who wrote America's Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare)? The insurance companies! Guess who wrote the Monsanto Protection Act? Monsanto!

Do you see a pattern emerging?

Well, start by suing the school, school district, the administration, the city mayor, city ccounsil, the city, the county, the srtate. Then move on to the individuals involved, their family, their relitives, their employers. Then file a criminal complaint against the principal, the school nurse, the kids teacher, and school board. What else ya gonna do? Buy a sniper rifle?

I hope this boy's father knows where the school's decision to withhold the inhaler came from.

That seems to hit the nail on the head.
Unfortunately, it requires money to hire lawyers
so lawyers wrote the laws and lawyers clean up
by cleaning up their own mess.

What bothers me most about this, isn't just the outrage of such diaboloical control over our children, instead of the parents whose child it is, but its the unbelievable attitude of the parents themselves. They are solicitous, instead of outraged. This school murdered their child, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Anal retentive school administrations exercised undue and unjustified power over this kid that cost him his young pubescent life and the parents are acting as if they are helpless. THEY ARE NOT HELPLESS, JUST COWARDS. Poor kid. He had no one to protect him from the heartless bureaucrats. HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE INHALER UNLESS IT WAS PRESCRIBED BY A DOCTOR, SO WHAT THE f.....? i SUPPOSE THAT IS ONE WAY TO GET RID OF THE GOYIM.
