ALBANY -- Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has signed a new law that will increase protections for student-athletes who suffer concussions, a measure championed by Long Island legislators.
The new law would require any student who is believed to have suffered a concussion to be immediately removed from athletic activities and banned from returning until he or she is symptom-free for at least 24 hours and cleared by a physician.

Seriously?
Is it really necessary to completely legislate such common-sense aspects of parenting?
Is it really the school's job to ban a child from returning to sports after a concussion?
I pity today's children who -- if Cuomo is right and this is a necessary legislation-- apparently have morons and monsters for moms.
"Sorry Mrs. Mom, you child was knocked unconscious and may have some brain injury, so...as much as I know you want to see him back out on the field...Uncle Andrew says he has to get a little rest and maybe even see a doctor."
