Students at Waccamaw Middle School in Pawleys Island, S.C. did something pretty cool this spring when they baked cupcakes and cookies to sell during lunchtime to raise money so six World War II veterans could go on an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
The fundraising effort was a smashing success. The students raised $2,500 in just three weeks to help the six vets visit the various national memorials that venerate their sacrifices, according to the Georgetown Times.
If the kids want to act similarly selflessly this academic year, though, theyll be out of luck.
They can thank first lady Michelle Obama for getting them out of such do-gooderism.
The 2010 Hunger-Free Kids Act that the first lady has strongly advocated now prevents such bake sales at all schools taking the associated federal funding.

Yep, we have to be liberal on the issue of school bake sales selling sugary snacks.
Anybody else notice that liberalism has a strong totalitarian streak in it????
A WW2 Veteran is not allowed to “eat cake?”
Liberalism: ideas so good, they’re mandatory.
Have the bake sale at Walmart or somewhere similar. Raise more money.
Hey I like that line, that liberal ideas are so good they are mandatory.
If liberal ideas are so great, then why do they have to impose their views on everyone? Why doesn’t everyone adopt liberal views and policies voluntarily, if it is so obvious that liberal views are superior?????
Well, we have to worry about getting adequate vitamins and minerals and fiber intake for the WW II generation. Can’t be feeding them junk food.............
Young politicians who have no money operate off Bake Sales. Michelle hates any political opposition of the Democrat (Sharia Law) government.
Real Americans would hold up a “collective” middle finger, and have the bake sale anyway.
Maybe she was just axing a question.
Even Marie Antoinette wouldn’t have allowed that, back in her day.
JUst another little check list item on the TRansformation List.. getting the kiddies involved.. or telling them to get in line?
You're obviously a racist! lol
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is all the way to the bone.
Someone only has as much power over you as you give them.
Who gave Moochbutt power over them?
Why did they give Moochbutt power over them?
They can take back the power they gave Moochbutt over them anytime they want.
LOL! Brilliant! If I may, I would append one other thought:
Liberalism: ideas so good, theyre mandatory. But only for thee, not for me.
Damn!!! My “right-wing dog whistle” and “rayyyyycist code words” are showing again!!
Hate when that happens! :^)
Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.
