A mother in Hoke County complains her daughter was forced to eat a school lunch because a government inspector determined her home-made lunch did not meet nutrition requirements. In fact, all of the students in the NC Pre-K program classroom at West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford had to accept a school lunch in addition to their lunches brought from home.

Worse than that. To conclude that lunches are sub par, they have to be searching the lunches of students. Authority?
Have the kids eat off campus.
I swear, if that were my child, someone would get fired. And if I was ignored, there would be an unfortunate accident in someone’s future.
There is little that fires me up like a two bit bureaucrat abusing his or her power.
OMG! LMAO!

PAID BY US!!! These cretins work for us!!!!
I have four chilren and I made a practice of having lunch with them in elementary school. The truth is kids pitch the healthy stuff on their tray in the garbage and just eat dessert. Getting children to eat what’s good for them at home is a struggle-when they’re at school, it’s a lost cause. Go to a school cafeteria and look in the garbage cans-it’s enlightening.

I was about to suggest that this mom go have lunch with her daughter. Then see what the jack-booted thugs have to say about her lunch brought from home.
It’s not the Nanny State but the Food Nazis that are up to no good again!
NO BROWN BAG LUNCH FOR YOU!!!!
I remember a grade school teacher sent me back to my desk to finish a really distasteful school “lunch” I didn’t want it, it was gross to me, and finally she gave up and spend a good part of the afternoon ridiculing me in front of classmates.
Next day Mom was waiting outside the room when teacher reported for duty. Needless to say, Mom won.
I feel pretty sure the whole idea is to do away with the homemade lunch so all the little robots eat the same thing.
America was Grounded On Experience & Reason; a people who had built local communities from the ground up, literally from scratch. They understood that what works best in every area of human social concern, is that which maximizes personal, individual responsibility. Parents, not the State, not a distant bureaucracy; not busy bodies with political connections in far off places; the parents, were responsible for their children's care & well being; their food, shelter & raiment.
This is not only insulting to the people in this school district. It is teaching a terrible--terribly unamerican--lesson to these children. But, then, perhaps that is actually the intent. We are no longer on the same page as to what fundamental principles we support.

Ah yes... Those were the days... When parents actually had a say in what was happening to their kids at school.
I had a progressive once tell me, flat out, that our kids did not belong to us, and it was the state’s responsibility to raise them.
The mask is off, folks...
Tainted with psychotropic drugs... all for the common good, you know.
Well said! Force my kids to do/eat something not part of the basic "Three R's" of school and someone's asking for it.
“we” have given the federal government a free hand to be tyrants in the name of “health”.
Now we live in a tyranny.
