Depends what you mean. I'm
not suggesting nits are more prevalent in kids from religions with a defensive attitude to their hair. I
am suggesting there's more likelihood of any infestation spreading because of our fear of offending one segment of our multicultural society.
In my previous post, all I was saying is that some kids
will allow Nitty Nora to go exploring, others
won't. Therefore, we end up with a racial divide. Therefore poor old Nora has to decide whether she's going to force kids who don't want their hair checking to have it checked, or just abandon the kids who don't care. Heaven forbid she should take option 3 and treat them differently.
That means that there's generally a bigger likelihood of infestation because checks aren't being done. The infestation might be in a predominanyly white, Christian school like the one my son goes to, but the cause is still the same. Nora's gone.
Of course I could be wrong and there might be an entirely rational explanation for poor old Nora being on the dole...
