the note should simply state that for the child to receive ANY nutrition during the day at school at all, a packed lunch is required since the child cannot be forced to eat the CRAP served at the school...ok, seriously. if the collapse comes, there are going to be so many people on the arrest list, its not even funny.
Well, that’s because we must follow Madame Obama’s mandate for eating properly. Otherwise you must starve!
My son-in-law has a doctorate in physics. Would that do?
Obviously, the government knows better than the parents about what’s best for their children. (/sarc)
Oh, you should post the second photos. That’s the one that got my husband!
Ice cream being sold to the students during PE??
Follow the money.
I would send a letter back to Ms Queen of the World and remind her that she is MY employee, and the child is MY child and I will send a lunch with MY child if I want to. That it is none of her business if MY child has a sack lunch.
There is no law forbidding lunch from home. Likely this is some 25 year old revolutionary follower of Obama. That or someone doing what someone else told them was required. This has no more legal weight than that teacher who was telling kids they could be arrested for disrespecting Obama.
Demand they produce it. It’s simply bureaucratic BS saying that the school only gets federal money for the number of lunches they sell.
A letter from an attorney like Sekulow should shut this garbage down nicely.
Lunch Nazis.
Heh. My son stepped off the school bus when he was in Kindergarten and puked all over the sidewalk.
He’s almost 17 now and hasn’t had a school lunch since then. Homemade sandwiches or soup in a thermos, fruit and homemade brownies or cookies are always in his lunchbox. His friends envy his lunches.
And a doctor cannot send a note detailing that a child must follow a special diet. HIPPA baby!
No school could demand a note spelling out the details of a child’s medical condition. HIPPA, ADA, etc ad nauseum. This ALONE proves that the school is making this policy up on the wing. And a school cannot use medical as the only exemption. Halal? Kosher?
What a joke.
Send them an attorneys letter saying that refusing to let them eat it will be child abuse, and that confiscation of the child’s lunch from home will be seen as larceny.
the note should simply state that for the child to receive ANY nutrition during the day at school at all, a packed lunch is required since the child cannot be forced to eat the CRAP served at the school...How about you better run.
Dear Soul Sucking Bureaucrat:
For reason that I cannot disclose to you because of HIPAA privacy laws little Johnny must eat a lunch prepared specially for him by those that really care about his welfare.

The Agriculture Department pays about $1 billion a year for commodities like fresh apples and sweet potatoes, chickens and turkeys. Schools get the food free; some cook it on site, but more and more pay processors to turn these healthy ingredients into fried chicken nuggets, fruit pastries, pizza and the like. Some $445 million worth of commodities are sent for processing each year, a nearly 50 percent increase since 2006.
The Agriculture Department doesn’t track spending to process the food, but school authorities do. The Michigan Department of Education, for example, gets free raw chicken worth $11.40 a case and sends it for processing into nuggets at $33.45 a case. The schools in San Bernardino, Calif., spend $14.75 to make French fries out of $5.95 worth of potatoes.
The money is ill spent. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has warned that sending food to be processed often means lower nutritional value and noted that “many schools continue to exceed the standards for fat, saturated fat and sodium.” A 2008 study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that by the time many healthier commodities reach students, “they have about the same nutritional value as junk foods.”
…
Why is this allowed to happen? Part of it is that school authorities don’t want the trouble of overseeing real kitchens. Part of it is that the management companies are saving money by not having to pay skilled kitchen workers.
In addition, the management companies have a cozy relationship with food processers, which routinely pay the companies rebates (typically around 14 percent) in return for contracts. The rebates have generally been kept secret from schools, which are charged the full price.

My own feeling is that there is a little bit more to it than that. There is an impulse on the left toward forcing equality. So, if one child comes to school with a better lunch than the next child the egalitarian impulse of the leftist school administrators is offended.
I am also going to advance a theory that many will find far-fetched:
Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
If we have whole sections in our inner cities poor and ignorant, especially of nutrition to which much of the population is no doubt indifferent, we have a real felt need to step in and do what ignorant, single mothers are unwilling or incapable of doing, that is, properly feed their own kids. So we have the move for school lunches and now for school breakfasts.
If you look at the world demographically the way the first lady looks at the world, we see this kind of thinking. In the world of the ghetto the child's parents are in fact too often irresponsible so the impulse to have the government step in to correct the situation on behalf of innocent and powerless children is irresistible to leftists. Anyone who doesn't agree is a heartless hater of children and no doubt a racist.
So we have the politics for all of America even wealthy suburban America racing to the bottom, just as our culture seems to be racing to the bottom of issues such as bastardy rates, because the government must insist that one size fits all.
This is another veiled and empty attempt by government to enforce its will in a place where they have no LEGAL authority.
This letter written by the school is blaming the problem on the Government who most certainly sent the school some kind of an edict, but I would bet my paycheck that it was about reducing the schools Federal Lunch program money for all the students that ‘bring lunches’. It most likely didn’t even say it was prohibited - they CANNOT prohibit that.
This is the SCHOOL capriciously enforcing a rule they likely have no purview over either. They just want the money.
Get to the crux of the problem, call the school, fight them, and make them SHOW you the actual letter that says you CANNOT give your child a homemade lunch. Stand up and fight.
If this isn’t the right time for a GFY berth, I don’t know when is?!
This mom is worried about what government schools force into her child’s BODY??
Just write a letter and sign it Epstein’s Doctor.
