milk is a nutritious food, so why is it banned in schools?

according to dafeng news, longze experimental school in yucheng city, shandong province, prohibits students from bringing milk into the school. when students enter the school, school staff will check the children's school bags one by one, and only those who pass the inspection can pack their bags and enter the school gate.

why doesn't the school allow children to bring their own milk? school staff said that the principal said that the weather is getting colder and that children should try not to drink cold things. the milk in the school is heated, so how can children heat the milk they bring to school? the parents further said that the temperature is not very cold now, and the staff said that he could not give further explanation.

milk is not a prohibited item, and students should be free to bring milk. the school's ban directly affects students' milk drinking preferences and personalized choices. if it is really for health reasons and students do not want to drink cold milk, then it should be a recommendation, not a ban on students bringing milk. if the school is willing to go to the trouble, they can also help heat up the milk that students bring, which truly reflects the consideration of students' health. the school prohibits students from bringing their own milk and they can only drink milk provided by the school. isn't the school a "milk tyrant"?

in order to prevent students from bringing their own milk, the school checks the children's backpacks one by one, which is suspected of being illegal.

article 1032 of the civil code of the people's republic of china stipulates that natural persons enjoy the right to privacy. no organization or individual may infringe upon the privacy of others by means of spying, intrusion, disclosure, or publicity. students' schoolbags belong to their personal private space. in order to prohibit students from bringing milk, the school enforces the inspection of students' schoolbags, which undoubtedly infringes on students' privacy.

this behavior may also constitute the crime of illegal search. article 245 of the criminal law of the people's republic of china stipulates that anyone who illegally searches another person's body or residence, or illegally invades another person's residence, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention. although this law directly targets illegal searches of the body and residence, student backpacks, as storage spaces for their personal belongings, should also be subject to similar protection.

the school's forced inspection of students' backpacks not only violates laws and regulations, but also goes against the basic principles of education. teachers should respect students' personal dignity and privacy rights and educate and manage students in a reasonable and legal manner.

the essence of education is to guide students to grow healthily and cultivate their ability to think independently. when schools forcibly check students' schoolbags and prohibit them from bringing milk in the name of "health", this behavior not only violates students' privacy rights, but also conveys a wrong value invisibly - the school has the right to interfere in all students' behavior.

the milk in the schoolbag should not be a victim of power, but a symbol of students' free choice. if students cannot freely choose even a box of milk, how can they learn to make independent decisions in a wider range of areas?
