Hi, I'm wondering if this is discrimination or not...I would think so, but some of you would know better.
I stay at a campground for the summer, and my 2 nieces visit often. They bothat happened to make friends with the owner's daughter and another girl. Now these girls had played many times before and never had an issue, but one day they discovered the 4 girls had lice. Nobody knows where it came from, it could have been from some of the transient kids (That's what they call the people that come and go and don't stay there long.) for all we know. They were all playing with other kids on the playground and in the pool all the time. Anyway, to get to my point, the owner is now requiring a note from the kid's doctors sayign that they do not have lice anymore. They are not requiring it from any other family members, or any other campers who these girls may have come in contact with. Now we made it clear to the owner because we wanted him to make sure he checked his daughter, the right thing to do I would think. But how many people did not tell anybody. Most people who are just passing through would not know where it came from and just treat it I would think. It is my opinion that the owner is discriminating against these 4 girls (One of which is his daughter anyway) because he is not asking anyone else to get checked. Also, he is not offering to pay for any dr visit, so why should they have to go? He claims this is a matter of health, but again I ask, "Why aren't you having anybody else coming into the campground provide Dr.'s notes?" Please tell me your opinion on this situation.
Thanks,
Jeff Lavoie
