ZitatLeprosy, the dreaded Middle Ages disease once believed to be a punishment from God, might have afflicted students in Southern California, officials said.
The Jurupa Unified School District — in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles — sent a letter home with kids last week, saying it had an obligation to keep parents informed about the disfiguring skin disease.
“The school district has received an unconfirmed report that two students at Indian Hills Elementary School have been diagnosed with Hansen’s disease (leprosy),” according to the letter inked by district superintendent Elliott Duchon. “In an abundance of caution, (the) administration wanted to share this information with you as soon as possible.”
The letter quoted the US Department of Health and Human Services’ description of leprosy being “not highly transmissible” and “very treatable.”
Leprosy is most associated with the Middle Ages, when those afflicted were cast off from society.
OMG!!! I had to post this one on my FB! Thanks Cincy!

"If we have no idea what our institutions are doing we have no hope of reforming them." Julian Assange *** "Maybe God is trying to tell us something important- that now is not the time for a “nice Christian guy” or a “gentleman” or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root

Leprosy in an American school, one in ever progressive CA. How can this possibly be?
There's a reason why we once screened the health of immigrants racist, xenophobic, hateful bitter clingers that we were.
I guess we ought to all thank Teddy Kennedy for gallantly showing the way to rework immigration for the benefit of global finance and corporate not US citizens .
