Freedom wise, it is better the children and their parents have a choice, Comrade Carmona.
Typical government-run nanny-state school, I'd say. We must protect the people from themselves!
Okay, I grew up mainly in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA and this would’ve dismayed and astonished my teachers, principals and the parents in my neighbor hood back in the 1960’s and early 70’s!! That’s how far we’ve come! My 5th grade teacher was a WWII Bataan Death March survivor and my 6th grade teacher’s hair turned white (overnight!) in Vietnam. I suspect that Mr. Lamb and Mr. Corbin would fight this tooth & nail!
This is Bull Shiite!
By the time I got to High School I hated their food. I don’t care for pizza and never have.
Whatever sauce they used in the pizza, sloppy joe and enchilada sucked and was to acidic. Besides, I can’t stand the taste of sauces out of a can.
I also can’t stand ravioli. Gag.
This is a scam to get more money into the school system and the parents should sue.
It doesn’t take into account individual dietary requirements and abrogates a parents decision about what their children should eat.
A parent has zero idea what is being served in a cafeteria.
I guarantee you my Mom would have said “take your lunch anyway and whatever happens I will support you. No one tells my kids what to eat.”
When I grew up, we weren’t allowed foods with sugar and if we had cereal you could only use 2 tsp.
I never cared for sweets as a kid and consequently don’t care for them now.
I never liked any drink with sugar in it either and at my school they served iced tea with sugar in it. Blech! I prefer chemical sweeteners and always have.
Kommunists!
Now, this is the same federal government that they want to stay out of our bedrooms when it comes to disgusting sex choices . . . they can go into our kitchens, but stay out of our bedrooms.
How long before they start adding “medicine” to those foods to aid in the kids education? If they haven’t already.
No,no, I get it. “Health Choices” means do it their way or else.
Orwell was spot-on about Newspeak.
“Choice” = government mandated behavior.
It's way past time for a revolution. WAY PAST TIME!
Nothing like usurping parental authority.
There was an article in my newspaper yesterday by a public school teacher who was upset because apparently in Southern California, parents are pulling their children out of the public schools in droves and enrolling them in private church schools, which she claims are proliferating. She knew that there were plenty of Catholic schools, but private Christian schools?
Typical whiner — whining about the kids, whining about the parents, whining about the parents removing kids from the wonderful public schools and placing them in church schools.
Upset that these parents told her that they thought the California public schools were beyone hope. Well, these parents know what’s going on in the CA public schools and how difficult it is to send their kids there.
Get out while the getting’s good!
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall...
You can’t have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!
Reminds me of when I was a little kid and they tried to force me to eat the ginger-ale Jello at lunch. Maybe it had pears in it, I don’t recall. I do remember resisting and had to get my folks involved. Not sure if I puked on anyone’s shoes, but I recall gagging a lot. That was a private school so we at least had recourse.
I hate freaking Jello to this day. It is useful for ballistic testing if mixed strong enough ...
And these are the same people who scream about their rights to have control over their own bodies; yet, they want to take away the rights of parents (and the students) to determine what goes into their children’s bodies while at school. If you looked at Chicago paper’s photo of this, they were serving a pile of unrecognizable goo and calling it an enchilada. The kid in the photo had his face covered and not one kid at the table had eaten the entrée.
A more important point here, however, is the lack of respect some educators have for parents. If they don’t trust them to pack a lunch, they are certainly not letting parents having any input into their children’s education.
Can anyone say “homeschooling”?
