This is the United States of America, the least we can expect is clean water for our children to drink. We pay taxes so that Government can provide some of the basic necessities, i do not believe our children should have to take water to school...they should be able to turn on the tap and drink from it like we did growing up without worrying about all of the impurities mentioned in the article. It's a disgrace! I migrated from what is considered to be a “Third World Country” and God darn it we have clean/safe drinking water.

We should take care of ourselves. We have become very lazy. Children should take their own water to school along with their lunches. If we start taking care of ourselves, we would be a lot better off. Thanks. We should not count on the government to take care of our need. We should take care of ourselves. We have become very lazy.
