And is that supposed to be more healthy than the turkey and cheese sandwich? It can't be true, because nobody can be that stupid.

Yabbut .... It's hard to 'medicate' the little nippers if you don't put it in their food...

Her kid goes to West Hoke (Hoke Cty) but she lives in Fayetteville (Cumberland Cty)?

Fayetteville does have a few addresses that go over the county line but they go to the eastern county schools.

And she contacted the Robeson Cty Rep?

“This Isn’t China, Is It?”

No, China is abandoning socialism.

I suppose only the US can still afford socialism and all its delusions.

For now.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Why do we allow stuff like this to even exist?

“The government inspector was from the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised program at the FPG Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program gives schools a grade based on standards that include USDA meal guidelines enforced by the N.C. Division of Early Childhood Development.”

[Mr. Dough]

We should all encourage the lefty sycophants to put their money where their mouth is: following Michele’s lead, let’s pass a law that requires that food stamps can only be used for “healthy” foods. That oughta go over well.

...Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised program at the FPG Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Just wow.....how do you fit all that on a business card ?

[Adder]

Then next day 20 parents show up and demand they stop.

When do you stand and FIGHT?

Or do you? Do we keep clinging to the notions that elections are the answer? I am thinking not: they obviously do not care about elections.
In NC, they only care about the addiction to federal dollars, even tho the elections went the other way in 08 For 2012, dumblecrats are deciding to spend more time with the family in droves.

Civil disobedience and uncivil discourse...I think its come to that.
It make take a few tazings over stupid stuff like this to force them to stop.

The problem is that this was Preschool and kids of this age are easily intimidated by Authority Figures; especially when their parents are’nt present.

[fruser1]

Did the inspector have a warrant to search that lunch bag? Sounds like a nice civil liberties suit.

[DH]

Civil disobedience and uncivil discourse...I think its come to that.

Just wait until after the upcoming presidential election when the GOP snatches defeat out of the jaws of victory by insuring Romney runs against Obama.

I will not be long after that, as we lose an even greater amount of freedom that what you state will become absolute truth.

Another news article says the mother “fears retaliation” so chooses to remain anonymous.

Not just stupid, to send her daughter in for a low quality education; but cowardly too, and a moocher using the welfare known as public education. Not a citizen. Just a subject.

Meanwhile, at West Hoke Elementary, the “Terrific Kid” nominee gets a Waffle House coupon and some ice cream as a reward for showing signs of being “thoughtful, enthusiastic, respectful, responsible, influential[???], friendly, impeccable[?], and caring.” The “Student of the Month,” likewise chosen for anything but academic performance, gets a free Domino’s pizza.

Looks like she stone washed a chinchilla coat.

“While the four-year-old was still allowed to eat her home lunch, the girl was forced to take a helping of chicken nuggets, milk, a fruit and a vegetable to supplement her sack lunch. “

Simple solution.

Tell your kid to take the ‘supplement meal’, but only eat what you brought and throw the rest away.

If anyone complains, just instruct her to say she was to ‘full’ to eat anymore.

Forcing the girl to take the meal has nothing to do with ‘nutrition’ and everything to do with the schools ‘budget’.

The less they spend,in any school year, the less they get for the next year.

It’s always about the ‘money.. always.

Condoms on cucumbers. Sex desensitization in first grade. Food inspections...

How many parents pull their kids out of these abusive government babysitting buildings, even for one day?

I’m ashamed of the sheeple. Is free babysitting worth it? Really?

[Lady Lucky]

What should parents do who are "weak" in some specific part of the curriculum such as geography or, say, grammar? How does one compensate for that?

Learn as you go along. Your child will still emerge better educated than he would have been at public school.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

——neither could give me the correct answer to a simple math question however. After 2 weeks of home schooling guess what.. They can answer that simple math question.-—

Hell yeah! Fight the power.

[Lady Lucky]

I believe the govt’s goal here is to expand its control of food consumption. The more people relying on it to receive food, and the more directly fed, the better.
Once healthcare by govt is well established, you will see a movement to ensure the “right to food.” After all, food is more essential to health than the free contraception that’s currently at issue.

[myrabach]

Hey teachers leave them kids alone... we don’t need no thought control...

[PalmettoMason]

Then they will kill you.
All 20 of you.
See Syria?
Now, ask yourself if the “authorities” here are any different.

So we are back to “Everybody Needs Milk” is okay again? I remember a number of years ago that the billboards saying Everybody Needs Milk were RACIST because of the large number of African-Americans who are lactose intolerant.There was a big outcry. But NOW the Federal Government REQUIRES milk under the regime of same?
