Current Event #7




More and more places these days are banning kids, especially the screamers, from places.  Malaysia Airlines has banned all babies from their first class cabins.  A restuarant in Pittsburg has banned kids under six.  Now the Dee Why Grand Shopping Centre has put up notices of their zero tolerance of screaming children.  If your kid starts screaming, you are kicked out.  

Personally, I see this as discrimination.  Coming from a family where I am the oldest of soon to be six kids, I am not new to the whole tantrum and screaming kid show.  Some people may see this as a great thing.  No more screaming kids to contend with.  However, I see this as a great injustice to families with young children.  Families should not be banned from certain places, especially family based areas such as malls and restuarants, just because they happen to have young children.  If a child starts to scream, the parent should walk out with them, but they should at least get that chance to even see if their kid will scream.   I hope that all of these bannings will be revoked in the future.  Who knows what else may come of this, boycotts, rebellions, World War III?  The American Revolution started because our freedom was being denied to us.  Is that not now happening again?  Families banned from going to certain places.  Is it not in our constitution that we all have equal rights???
