Federal Agents Inspect Your Child's Lunch

“note from the school stating that students who did not bring a ‘healthy lunch’ would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.”

This is all about making kids and parents who don’t fall in line cough up the fees for the school lunch program. It doesn’t matter what you bring, we can declare it unfit for your child, just pay us money.

[lowbridge]

You can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Are State funded trash Nazis standing at the trash cans to ensure that the children are not tossing this fine nutritious lunch in the trash?

[Vendome]

Highway/Interstate speed limits and seat belt laws are a good example of this.

Highway/Interstate speed limits and seat belt laws are a good example of this.

I seem to remember a great hew and cry about national speed limits in the 70's but people now have grown weary of fighting and have slumped into line with the directives.

Hannah Arendt would be proud

BTW has anyone else wondered why automobile registration's have to be renewed (and a fee paid) annually when I have the same car and the same plates?

"BTW has anyone else wondered why automobile registration's have to be renewed (and a fee paid) annually when I have the same car and the same plates?"

It's a form of property tax more than anything.

I lived in NC eleven years. First, there are federal dollars attached to every book, every meal, and every school bus rider. NC is broke, has been broke and is getting worse under “suspend elections for two years Gov Perdue”. They are desperately extorting every federal dollar and every citizen dollar they can. Perdue had privileged passes to Federal unemployment numbers (per EL Rushbo). Raleigh is closer to DC than you think. In short, this state meal Nazi, got a few federal dollars for this meal, remember it is exponential. If they can increase the federal money by X amount, NC will do it. That is why there are school bus rider “audits, btw.. federal money. Our Money.
I would report this as Federal Fraud, if I were the parents. See something, say something.

“”State employees have become the agents/toads of the federal government.
This is what `federalism’ has become.””

—

So true. And local employees have become the agents/toads of the state government.

[tumblindice]

Yep, the old `carrot or (not `and’) the stick’

You owe me $10.00. I don’t have to ask you: You face possible criminal penalties, along with interest and penalties, for not forking it over regularly.

I give you back $5.00 on condition that you do what I say. Then I turn around and spend $15.00.

Cloud cuckoo land. This is the way the world ends.

Sums up our current twilight zone existence nicely.

That’s true, the nanny-mommy-daddy-big-brother-dependency state is a bigger problem than just the Federales, but if we can radically chop down the Federal Kudzu, the weeds in each State by State garden plot will be far more easy to deal with.

Many States — Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, others — are already rapidly downsizing state bureaucracies.

My point is not to excuse federal intrusion, but to point out that state governments can be every bit as intrusive, and often are more intrusive, than the federal government.

Many FReepers and other conservatives like to talk about "state sovereignty" or "states' rights" or romanticize the Tenth Amendment, but the lived reality is that state governments and municipal governments are not appreciably better than the federal and are usually more expensive to boot.

And it is North Carolina that we're talking about here. North Carolina has decided to take this power to the extreme, unfortunately. Not sure why, always thought there were quite a few Conservatives there, but guess not.

The girl’s mother -- who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation -- said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a 'healthy lunch' would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.

Sent the "note" back with payment. Include one of these...

Tell them they can keep their "change" as well.

[SoldierDad]

Yeah! Right! The wasted food in public schools is ridicules, both for lunch and for breakfast.

[Kaslin]

Only in the mind of liberal bureaucrats who have no clue about nutrition

[who knows what evil?]

Just keep sending your children to public schools, folks...just keep it up.

[A'elian' nation]

Not only would I not tell them to keep the change, I would bill the school and the SEIU for the young girl’s food that was thrown away PLUS sue for damages and trauma.

I will be surprised if no pain and suffering lawsuit surfaces as a result of this storm trooper action.

Where are those ambulance chasing lawyers when you really need them ?

[ExTexasRedhead]

The State and Federal agents of Liberal Insanity are groping us at airports; dictating what our children eat in the schools while the NEA brainwashes them into becoming good Liberals. Ya think their next step will be in our bedrooms? Think about it and pray that the clueless wake up before we’re living in the Regime’s planned reproduction of 1930’s Germany. Meanwhile, the eunuchs in DC look for their gonads with both hands and a mirror and find nothing and say absolutely nothing to expose the treachery in DC. You know their names! Vote them out in November 2012 before you have no freedom(s) left.
