I have a feeling that Girl Scout Cookies will be gone within 5 years if we continue to let the schools run our lives. I am glad my niece is involved and am able to buy a bunch of those yummy cookies for my kids and the family. I hate to see what happens to our country in 10 years. So sad. Of course the Republicans and even conservatives are on board with this nonsense too. I haven’t heard a word from anybody saying that when they are President they will repeal any rule about food in the last 8 years.

I find it funny that the more they ban this sugary stuff the more obese the nation gets. Perhaps keeping it from the kids just ensures the kids overeats it when they get the chance. Schools are a waste of our precious resources.

I suggested protection racks to our PTA as a fundraiser, worked for my uncle Dominic.

Funny, I find I am not on their email lists anymore and people rush by me in the supermarket.

The usurper has taken all those old clunkers off the roads just so the wimpy widdle kiddies and their equally wimpy widdle parents wouldn’t be traumatized by flying safety glass and plastic. Imagine intentionally taking a baseball bat to something and harming it. Imagine going outside and doing something physical. Not when half the school is allergic to sunshine and fresh air. The horrors! Besides, they’d have to get the fire department, police department, EMS and school safety officer out to supervise such an event and have the EPA do an environmental impact study before and after and what about a hazardous waste removal crew to remove the debris and would this be covered by the teachers’ union and insurance and .... No, no, are you crazy? It simply can NOT be done.

Nothing says fun like a kale and cauliflower sale.

Just wait, with our liberal school indoctrination system, the next and only approved fundraiser will be discount coupon books for abortions and pot dispensaries.

I remember it just like it was tomorrow... It was the Johnsonville School district Broccoli sale... Great times eh.

Yes, after the Fried Breaded Cauliflower incident they were more careful, that new cafeteria was expensive. Who new so much methane could be generated in so short a time!

"Bake sales" shouldn't be banned because I don't like them but I am engaged in a one man boycott of them and am not axing anyone to join me in it.
