Hmm. I don’t think school kids will just roll over on this.

It would be real easy to devise small chocolate powdered packets....just for 1/2 pint of milk...Sounds like a great marketing opportunity.

What morons. They're going after one of the few foods that's actually GOOD for the kids, even with a little bit of flavoring.

You can't reason with liberals, although I keep trying.

Stupid schools!! We just consumed a half gallon of chocolate milk at dinner tonight. Just placed it on the table and let everyone have refills. It’s a treat for us! I can’t buy it all the time because the kids would drink it too fast and milk is very expensive right now.

I’ve found that a small glass of chocolate milk away keeps the candy bars at bay. It satisfies without being too horrible on the waistline. Not that I have one of those right now, anyway. ;0)

Bring your own chocolate milk in a thermos to school.

“No more fun of any kind.”

Actually, there is a great learning opportunity for capitalism here - some enterprising kid could make a few bucks. Of course, he would probably be suspended on some zero-tolerance crap, which would be another learning opportunity.
