Fragrance Awareness Campaign in Minn Schools

Fragrance Awareness Campaign in Minneapolis Schools. Rich Kimball forwarded an article about the outcome of a Minnesota state congresswoman' s proposal to ban fragrances in Minneapolis public schools out of concern for children with asthma and other health problems. The proposal was abandoned based on requests from students and an administrator at one high school. Instead of the ban, the congresswoman introduced a plan for an awareness campaign. The article notes that no state has succeeded in banning fragrances from schools. You can find the article at http://www.naturaln ews.com/024227. html
