As someone with multiple food intolerances I wonder how a lactose intolerant celiac vegetarian would cope having to pick from the school cafeteria every day. But clearly the ban on eyes is the hardest to make sense of.. This year my work place banned us from playing Ellen in the waiting room as head office felt all the squealing from her audience was unsettling for the oldies waiting for their appointments..

I could see a teacher losing their cool after a few days of that.
