It another sign of the wussification of America. Schools are no different than the rest of our society in that they are worried about lawsuits.... what if a kid gets frostbite walking to school because his parents did not dress him properly for the cold? In todays society it is always someone elses fault when bad things/accidents happen. After all, the school knew it was cold... it is their fault not the parent's fault nowadays.
