As temperatures and humidity dropped this fall, parents in Johnston County learned about an unusual policy change in the schools.

Schools spokeswoman Terri Sessoms said the rule is in place to prevent the spread of germs when children share the sticks.
Now look, the schools should try to increase the health of—the schools. That is, the food they cook, the water they offer and the common areas they provide.
Saying that kids can’t bring lip balm?
Stupid.
