MONTREAL - A couple near Montreal is seeing red over a local school’s green policy that saw their son barred from a contest for having a Ziploc bag in his lunchbox.

Isabel Theoret and her husband, Marc-Andre Lanciault, say their six-year-old son Felix was disqualified from a competition in his kindergarten class in suburban Laval after a teacher spotted his sandwich wrapping.

I say, get over it lady. The school is trying to teach kids to use reusable items to limit the amount of garbage they produce. If the kid doesn't participate, I'm sure they weren't pointing at him and telling him how horrible he is. They just didn't enter him in their raffle. Big deal. People get upset over the craziest things.

Ok he was excluded from a contest for children packing the most environmentally friendly lunches. Whoopdee doo. At my daughters school they once had a contest for the grade schoolers on who could read the most library books. Our library is only open until 5pm. My poor daughter could not win the contest because I get home too late to take her there. Children will always be limited by their parents actions.
