...when did an-GINA, start being pronounced AN-gina?
-EDIT-
Another, more pressing question has emerged. When did "this is a good idea and everybody should do it" become "and THEREFORE there should be a legal requirement"?
There is now a requirement that before starting Kindergarten, children MUST have a dental check-up. Yes, they SHOULD, but should the state mandate it?
Requiring children to be inoculated against communicable diseases is ONE thing, as that is designed to protect everyone in school; this is quite another, as it affects only the individual child.
The Assembly Speaker of the State of California, Fabian Nunez, narrated the announcement. Who paid for the announcement you ask? The California Dental Association, of course.
