Read One Mother's Note Telling Her Government Needs a Doctor's Note For Her to Give Her Kid

Linda of the blog My 2 Crazy Curls, a Stay-at-Home-Mother who describes herself as a “deaf SAHM mom of 3,” retells this hair-raising experience about her little one in an appropriately titled post “Wait..what? WHAT is THIS?!?!”

Imagine your surprise if you’re the mother of a preschooler and someone tells you that your efforts to feed your own child are not approved by the state? I would guess the conversations with the school’s officials might turn awkward.

Here’s what a preschool teacher sent home to Linda:

Dear Parents,

I have received word from Federal Programs Preschool pertaining to lunches from home. Parents are to be informed that students can only bring lunches from home if there is a medical condition meriting a specific diet, along with a physicians note to that regard.

I am sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact [name redacted], the Health Coordinator for Federal Programs Preschool at [number redacted].

Linda is sending her child to a federally funded (that's you and me) preschool.

I hope the note was written better than the headline.

I’m so glad we’re doing private school. We eat what’s considered a “clean” diet, and try to get as much of it from our back yard as possible. We do eat whole grains, but we eat much more fat and protien than Mooch and Big Gov tell us we should eat. I make most of our food. The kids love to help out and I love that they’re learning to cook and garden. There’s no way I would allow my kids to eat school crap, err food.

Not surprised, many school are telling parents “no home made lunches”.
Another reason to homeschool

Congratulations!

That is also the official school lunch program of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.

Government school is child abuse.

Growing and preserving my own fruits and vegetables and baking my own bread is part of their program as well? This is the first I’ve heard of that. Source?

Folks don’t seem to understand “why?” the school doesn’t want you feeding your kids.

IT IS SO THE GOVERNMENT GETS THE CREDIT FOR FEEDING YOUR KIDS!!!

They must show that they’re needed and create government dependency at every turn.

It’s so they can get $$$ for feeding your kids. I don’t have time to look for a source now, but I read somewhere that the average school lunch costs around $5 per student. That money buys pink slime “chicken” nuggets and lunch meat I wouldn’t feed to my dog. I can feed my kids a very nutritious, delicious lunch for a fraction of that.

Wookies shouldn't be telling our kids what to eat because Wookies food is not suitable for human consumption!!

Wookie diet:

"Wookies are omnivores. While they were perfectly capable of gathering wild plants[6] (like the wasaka berries[33]) or even cultivating domesticated varieties (such as the onion-like chyntuck), their lives in the canopy of Kashyyyk prompted them to consume essentially meat.[6] Wookiee cuisine relied heavily on spices. Because of this, many dishes were not suitable for Humans as they could damage their gullet and stomach. Like many other species, Wookiees consumed potent alcohol-based beverages, including the accarragm, the cortyg brandy, the garrmorl, the grakkyn and the Thikkiian brandy. Those spirits were too strong for Humans, who would become severely intoxicated after consuming them.[37]

apostrophe alert: the plural of a Nazi is Nazis, not Nazi’s. The apostrophe is used for the possessive, not to make a noun plural.
