Sunscreen school policy I need advice I'm pissed

I'm honestly sooo pissed!
My son goes to a small private school in WA, he is in second grade.
I was just informed that the school's policy is "no sunscreen/no play in the sun".
My son is made to stay in a tiny corner of the playground that provides shade for every recess, just because I refuse to put sunscreen on him.
I've already explained that he suffers from eczema and the last year haves and I will not put anything on him. I don't even use soap. Nothing....
First of all our kids are so low on vit D that they need some sun exposure, second we are not on the equator for god's sake, we are in the Northern WA, you can barely get enough sun if you expose your whole naked body to it. The only naked parts on my son are his face, hands and bellow the knees.
This is just retarded.
Don't you hate it when the school tries to be the parent?

This resembles to the T how we were treated during the communism.

I emailed his teacher and that's her reply:
"Yes, you may send your own sunscreen. It needs to have a manufacturer's label showing the SPF. Our licensing policy prohibits us from allowing kids to play in the sun without sunscreen. If you have any further questions, please contact..."

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You picked it AND pay for it.

This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The school is not going to bend, especially if they are claiming their license requires it.

Maybe a doctor's prescription of sunlight for his eczema would work, otherwise transfer.

did you know that sunscreen like glass allows the correct wavelenght of light through to the skin to produce vitamin d2. the body has to convert this d2 into d3, which in turn takes up d3. leaving a net loss of d3.

understand?

tell them they are restraining your son's freedom of movement and segregating him against your express wishes.

That might get their attention.

Doctor's note, maybe too. Tell them they will be directly responsible to ANY damage to him for lack of Vitamin D.

you are not going to back down.

if you do, they will never take you or another parent seriously again.

Best of luck to you. Schools are way too involved in matters that do not concern them.

Can't your doctor recommend a safe sunscreen for him until you can switch schools after September? There are eczema-friendly sunscreens out there. And get a doctor's note at the same time.

Problem solved.

Just go to Whole Foods, or PCC and buy the Organic, Natural Non Toxic kind. Sure it's more money, but you'll be good!

Or get a doctor's note.
