School bell 'infringes human rights'
Discussion
An Indian man has complained to a human rights body that a school bell could damage his son's health.
Ashok Vishvakarma, of Bhopal, told the Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission that his son may become "a victim of the school bell".
The lawyer said the Bal Bhawan Primary School bell was "so intense" children put their fingers in their ears.
He said earache and headache were common among the students after hearing it ring seven to eight times a day.
A doctor treating Vishwakarma's son has warned he could become completely deaf or suffer from mental illness.
The school principal is now reported to have asked for the removal of the child from classes.
Mr Vishvakarma told newspaper Central Chronicle: "When I brought the matter to the knowledge of the school principal she flatly refused even to think of changing the arrangement. She said if you are having a problem you can put your child in any other school but the bell system will not be changed."

Makes me want to walk into Parliament with a Mini gun.
When was it society became run by complete arseholes? To all the bureaucratic types who I hope are listening not everyone can be trusted with an opinion FFS! As has been proved the incompetent dont know when they are incompetent so I fear we are on somewhat of a downhill spiral here.
Let the culling commence!
Right, those with an IQ of less than 75 form an orderly queue on the left...
