The ban came to public attention when the daughter of Christy Riggs returned from a school field trip with sunburn. (Under the current district rules, students are also forbidden to bring sunscreen on field trips, whether indoors or out.) Said Riggs, according to Yahoo! News:
"Our family has very pale skin, and my father actually passed away from skin cancer earlier this year. What sort of message is the school sending when they tell us to leave sunscreen at home?"
Yahoo! News also states that School district spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said the risk of allergic reaction is one of the many reasons the district does not allow sunscreen in any of its 72 schools.
