As you know, I’m taking a wonderful course on environmental science at City College of San Francisco--in fact we're having our final in a couple of hours--so regular Chronicle columns like those of John King (urban design) and Marion Nestle (nutrition and public policy) resonate more than ever. So do articles like “Pregnant women rarely warned of chemical risks” (Jane Kay, Monday, December 17) and today's “Massacre reignites assault gun debate” with Kevin Fagan’s lead-in “Gun backers’ idea: Protect school kids by arming teachers.”
I can just imagine my environmental science teacher Peggy Lopipero-Langmo having to say, “Sorry! Can’t do lesson plans. Gotta go to target practice.”
Discussing the article on warning pregnant women of chemical risks, I asked my son, visiting from New York, whether he thought pregnant women should be warned, and he replied with irony, “No. Just give them a gun. That’ll protect them.”
I'll be back after my final with today's post on my mother.
