A few weeks ago, in a middle school in Palo Alto, Colman Chadam is ready to ascend to the sixth grade, he was the school drop-out requirements, because his father and mother told the teacher said something about his DNA thing.
After genetic testing, Chadam has cystic fibrosis genetic markers - a rare genetic disease, seriously affecting the lungs and digestive system, the patient vulnerable to infection. These markers does not mean that he suffers from the disease, and there has never been any Chadam-related symptoms, the most irritating is that he's already had two schools with cystic fibrosis admitted students, Chadam the people have kept the ring!
Still it sounds crazy? Yes, but no.
Yes, that's because, although DNA is such tips, but Chadam never been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The school seems to do his own to do, because patients suffering from cystic fibrosis need to be isolated, in the face of specific bacteria, they are prone to cross-infection.
"In patients with cystic fibrosis, the mucus can clog the lungs strong and conducive to bacterial growth and reproduction. Long-term accumulation makes them more prone to lung infections," said the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
When more than one school in cystic fibrosis patients is best to keep a distance of at least 1.8 meters between them. Airborne bacteria can spread as droplets almost 1.8 meters away.
Chadam parents declared that they would secretly medical information to tell his son after school, there is a teacher this information leaked to the school with other parents of children suffering from cystic fibrosis. They complained that other children would Chadam enrollment serious health threat, Chadam was asked to drop out.
I say "claims" because this happened in 2012, after which, Chadam parents have been trying to prosecute the crime of genetic discrimination schools.
