Legislating Hand Washing

How far is this nanny-state garbage going to go?

From Fox News:

On Thursday, the Illinois House passed a bill, 100-14, from Rep. Mary Flowers, a Democrat from Chicago, that would require Chicago Public School school officials to ensure students wash their hands with antiseptic before meals at school, reported The Chicago Sun Times.

Are they going to make a law requiring teachers to ensure kids, er, clean up adequately after going to the bathroom, too? Are they going to make a law to ensure they wipe their noses after every sniffle?

Encourage schools to send kids to the bathroom prior to lunch time? Sure. Make a law? Gimme a break!
