You joke but lice are a white people thing.

Since when? Lice doesn’t care. As long as you have a head of hair they will find you. Granted girls tend to contract them more since they have longer hair and tend to come in closer contact with each other. Bald people are the only ones I know who can avoid this.

When I was young (a long time ago!) you had to stay home until the lice were gone. That is still the case at our parochial school. I prefer that policy. I know we had the occasional outbreak when my kids were little, but it was only once or twice.

Live spreads so quickly, I don’t want my kids bringing it home.

Lice are less “contagious” than most people think

This has been the case for a very long time. Just teach your children not to touch heads or share hats/combs/hair clips with other people.

Did you know there are different species of lice that thrive in different textures of hair?

My kid had lice for 6 months despite frequent treatments. There is no way missing school would have been feasible

Lol. Come to my classroom and sit next to the kid with lice and then say that. Nearly every time a student in my class has lice, at least one other person gets it. Five year olds don’t have great personal hygiene and many don’t understand personal space either.

Lice cannot see skin color. They are repelled by some hair products. We used the fairy tale tree oiled products with hair spray and gel and never had lice when mine were little.

Black people rarely get lice. It’s definitely a white people problem.

Hispanic, Asian, American Indian? It's only a white person problem? GTFO with your idiocracy

According to a professional lice remover, lice evolve to thrive in different kinds of hair. So it seems the best way to avoid lice is to send your kids to a school populated by kids with different hair texture than their own!

No, it’s not. You sound racist. It may be all the hair products.

You should consider google before saying something stupid like, lice are racist. Black people are much, much less likely to get lice than white people.

I've had at least a half dozen kids over the last 10-12 yrs with lice for months on end. I don't think their parents follow through on cleaning the sheets/bedding, etc
