Is this a confirmed true story? What is the Virginia school district? What is the school?

Did you get an answer? Some of these stories that cone through here are bogus. This one smells like it.

I am reminded of the satiric novel Moscow 2042 by Vladimir Voinovich. In the novel, true socialism was said to have been achieved when when primary matter (food) equaled secondary matter (feces).

I only ate the lunch from my grade school for part of one year in the 8th grade. The food was several measures beyond horrible. I still have nightmares about the awful smelling green beans in the soup and other ahem “delicacies.” Even the peanut butter sandwiches used some kind of industrial sludge for the peanut butter. Then one day the head nun i.e. principal said I lived too close to school (about one mile) to use the school lunch program. I happily told my mother I would be coming home for noon lunch.

“-—head on a stick” Yeah, been there, done that exact thing about three decades ago. Our son’s grade school gave us a form to fill out for free lunches. That meant we’d have to lie about our income. We declined and explained our son likes his own home-packs just fine and they weren’t to be screwed with. To the extent that his friends were always trying to trade him out of his home jobs. It took a couple head-to-head meetings in the first couple years but the school folks quickly learned to leave us the bleep alone and our son scooted out as valedictorian.

No. Head start has income guidelines. And in our state is not affiliated with the school. Pre school is on school property and is things they used to do in kindergarden. Like writing letters and numbers and story time.

Get a name. Drag that person into a school yard and let the kids beat the crap out of him/her.

Funny thing is we know it is a Democrat.

I don’t know about all of the reasons the author gives. I think it’s just authority auto-pilot taken to the extreme. “We know better than anyone”. Maybe Mooch’s attempt to assert the high-ground on nutrition fits in here, too, even though the institutional meals probably aren’t all that nutritious.

—When I went to school 1952-1964—

Only took 12 posts for the obligatory “HEY HERE’S A STORY ABOUT MEEEEEE” post that has nothing at all to do with the story at hand.

There must be a lot of lonely people out there.

Even tiny tots are not spared from government healthcare rationing. That is the REAL reason for this.

I assume that Federal Programs Preschool is a “free” preschool that is paid for by the taxpayers.

If this is the case, then why would parents who would turn their 3 and 4 year olds over to the government even care who feeds them.

I think that is uncalled for.

The point is that most of us born in the forties ate what our parents gave us. We survived and thrived without government control or provisions.

That needs to be remembered and many people born in the 1970s and after have not experienced anything except ever-growing governmental overreach and coercion. They will never even know what things were like if elders don’t relate their own experiences.

Whazza matta? You too good to eat a lunch meat sandwich on white bread with a cold glass of milk?

WE certainly did not need the government to hand feed us.

Over sixty years ago I remember a classmate whose mother fried a hamburger for him in the morning while he was eating his breakfast.

She then smeared mustard and ketchup on a bun then she wrapped the sandwich in aluminum foil (or tin foil as we then called it) and tossed in a banana and placed both in a brown paper bag.

He ate this with relish at lunchtime.

To hell with this central socialist government. We don’t want it. We don’t need it. We despise Obama and his minions, then why in hell don’t we work to get rid of this POS?

For the umpteenth time, since I’ve been a member of this website since its inception, I’m saying: do the work yourself, damnit!

It was mimeographed and sent from the principal’s office.

The letter did not, repeat DID NOT, originate from Bronco Bama’s orifice.
