So, DH & I took a CPR class on Monday, and a First Aid class on Wednesday. We were told that their would be childcare available, and their was... untill 8:30 (class ended at 9:00, I think they both went a little over), so at 8:30 on monday I went and got my son who was upset, tired and hungry. All we were doing was review and the test by that point, thankfully, so I brought him into the class, sat down and nursed, just like always. After he was done he started vocalizing (happily), so they opend up a "pre-school" room for me to go do the test in real quick which was nice, though its FAR from baby-proof. I'd also nursed him at least once or twice in the childcare room.
Then last night, at our first break I went in and nursed him in teh childcare room. One of the lady's that was in their asked "would you like a blanket?", and when I said 'no, thanks' she was like 'well, we were told that you have to cover...' and so I told her that, no I do not, in the state of Ohio, you can't make me cover, and she dropped it. Then I went and sat down in class again. I'm not entirely sure if it was then or after the second break, but in anycase, later on, the instructor of the class asked me to step outside and I was confronted by her and another woman (whom I'm not sure who she was), and told that in the future I must either go somewhere private or cover. I tried to inform them that that was against the law but they just kept saying 'some people are botherd' and so 'you have to cover, its respect' and then told that my other option was to leave the room and go somewhere else, in the future. When they wouldn't listen I just walked back into the room and sat down. DH skipped out on the oxygen administration class so he could watch DS the last hour we were there.
Now, starting next week I'm taking a lifeguarding class their and so don't know what to do. I fully intend to bring a copy of the Ohio law with me from now on, at the very least. I'm just not sure if I should confront them about this or wait for it to come up again. I'm fairly upset and offended, but just don't know what to do now. Should I push this and possibly make myself persona-non-grata or should I just let sleeping dogs be, and hope it doesn't come up again, and if it does, deal with it then? WWYD??
