It IS a real issue. These fields are horrible for the environment, and detrimental to kids health

But seriously with all the real issues in schools this is the one we are arguing about?


Kids safety and health should be important to all parents?

Right. Killing children is a given. No need to discuss it in MCPS.

It's nice to read this statement on DCUM about something that isn't "OMG transgender bathrooms!" or "OMG a third gender on forms!".

Agreed.

Why are school systems putting these fields in when we know they are dangerous?

It's no different than all these 1950s houses with asbestos getting tear down, sending the dust over the neighborhood and playground.

As a lab scientist, who deals with carcinogenics very carefully indeed, this makes me furious.

When we know substances are dangerous, and have known for ages, why do we not implement maximum safety procedures when we need to use them???

We need way more stringent water, air and soil pollution regulations in this country. WAY more.

Bad enough for the neighborhood, probably worse for the workers!
