girl suspended from school for taking prescription

I just read this article about a girl who was suspended from school, and faced possible EXPULSION for taking her a prescription medicine at school. Apparently most schools don't let students bring pills of any kind, for fear that they're going to lead to LSD or demon-reefer use. One state even had a law that said you needed a doctor's note for sunscreen!

Ok, isn't this a little ridiculous? Wouldn't requiring a doctor's note just keep a lot of kids away from the sunscreen they need, or the ibuprofen or antibiotics they should take as they get over an ear infection? gaw.
