If bears are mentioned, why the need for a separate "polar bear" mention? Or are polar bears not bears?

ReplyDeletethought the funny thing is, my kids school, and others like it, have already banned many of the things included in this letter...(and what was not listed was included in the genral spirit of the school ban - they only gave some examples)
