Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, public schools across the country will have to comply with new standards for snacks sold on their campuses.

Your school board actually could tell the government to go f@ck themselves. It does not, however, want to because they would lose all those federal education dollars. They could bypass all those silly ass ‘requirements’ if they were self sustaining.

One more year until I retire.

Hope they don't search my side desk drawer. That's were I keep my stash of cookies and KitKats.

The kids that take the late bus always help me straighten up the room, they know I will be heading for the desk drawer to reward them.

Check the news archives. Happened someplace in North Carolina about a year and a half ago.

Your property taxes include School Board assessment usually. It is often the largest part of your property tax.

In addition to that your school board receives money for all the Federal Education programs our tyranny foists on us: Pre K, headstart, afterstart, subsidized school lunches, brainwashing text subsidies, all that stuff. Your school principals are drug addicts for federal money. All that money the Fed puts back into brainwashing for your kids comes from your Federal Income Tax payments.

With the present rate of success with anything government, I would suspect that within ten years donuts and cookies will be realized as some sort of miracle health food.

FOOD FASCISM!

I wonder if schools that don’t get government funds or foods have to follow these rules? don’t think so, so far but the FDA is rapidly becoming the Food Gestapo, trying to tie Sebelius/H&HS as the “Gaultleiter” of education or health.

At least kids can still bring their own food from home (except where fascist school administrations and dieticians illegally seize them on some cockamamy grounds they made up).

Obama said that he would fundamentally transform American society and he is (just like Lenin and Stalin did to Russia).

It is getting so that I don’t know whether to give the Nazi salute to government officials or just say “Hail Comrades”.

My father and relatives and my father-in-law and his relatives fought the Fascists and the Japanese Imperialists. I worked in Vietnam and Cambodia to stop Communism. My son fought to liberate Iraq from Baathist Fascism.

AND WE ENDED UP WITH COMRADE OBAMA AND HIS MIXED MARXIST/FASCIST REGIME.

WE DESERVE BETTER AFTER SO MUCH SACRIFICE FOR FREEDOM AND TO PRESERVE FREEDOM!
