A Tennessee elementary school banned students from eating ham sandwiches, BLT’s and anything else made with pork, but eventually lifted the ban after parents complained.
Third grade teachers at Sunset Elementary School in Brentwood, Tenn. sent home an “Approved Snack List” for the school year and it specifically banned anything that comes from a pig.snacklist
“No meats containing pork,” read the memorandum. “Starting Monday, August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above approved snack list.”
Kids could nosh on raw vegetables without dips or sauces, fresh fruit, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn – but no ribs or pork rinds.
“Only choose a food from the following list to bring into school for snack,” the memorandum stated in bold-face type. “No other food items are permitted.”

Yea. thats what caught my eye first. That has to be illegal. Someone getting kickbacks or just putting on their favorite brands?
Most assuredly.
The school takes food from my child.......you don’t want to be there for that.
They are the lowest of the low, sleaziest of the sleaze. They take advantage of well intentioned parents who only want the best for the children they have to turn over to teachers’ care each day. They are scum in my mind.
This reads like a wish list for stocking some Diva's dressing room.
Sorta a tradition to take my grandkids, school supply shopping, this year every item had a brand name underlined - it was a must.
Funny, the kids said, “no way grandma why should we pay $2.99 for crayolas when we can get an off brand for $0.99.
Love them
Man, Franklin is about as tiny and rural as they come.
What is wrong with this world when redneck hillbillies bow down?
Looks like a Sharia move to me.
But here’s my story.
We moved from Claremont CA an upper middle class city to Elk Grove what I would consider a slight step down in the pecking order of hoity toityness.
Forst week of schools “housewives” were invited to meet at school to discuss putting on events for the school year. My ex, no slouch, and able to carry the fight well above her weight class, attended with a neighbor. One lady said she could get discounted paper products from price club. She was quickly informed that only HallMark designer paper products would be appropriate.
My ex and neighbor left the room because they couldn’t stop mocking and laughing.
There will some people in any group who will impose their standards on others necessary or not.
This person needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of town.
Shame needs to be reintroduced into the lives of public officials and wannabes.
Jews have had to live in all sorts of areas and don;t make a fuss, they simply adapt, they tell their children it is their responsibility to not eat pork.
Moose Slimes have always been in a dominant role in most of their hell hole countries so they DEMAND that everyone else adapt to them, they don’t demand that their own children be responsible for what they eat, they demand that the Kaffirs do it for them because the Moose slime opinion of the male is that they themselves are like lowly uncontrollable animals.
This is why it is always the woman’s fault for being raped because the animistic male saw a sliver of ankle flesh and went into uncontrollable lust and raped her, so obviously she should be stoned to death.....
This is yet another example of the lack of self control that is endemic in Moose Slime Male “anti-culture”...
"...including our s t u d e n t ' s that have..."
You don't use an apostrophe in a simply plural noun.
They are usually liberals. Anyone who had to work really hard for their money wouldn't show their ass like that.
I’m down with that1
There will be war in any event, except abject surrender. Islamic lunatics have a fourteen hundred year history of war that demonstrates this truism.
She said, "It's because the generic crayons don't color worth a flip." I checked it out the next time I was playing with WBill Jr (our house is non-discriminatory when it comes to coloring utensils) .... she's right, the cheapies don't work very well at all.
Dunno about pencils. I prefer the real wood ones, over those plasticized ones. But that's just a preference, both write OK, near as I can tell. I've got "Ticonderoga", "Eberhardt-Faber (in #2 and #2.5) and some generic ones right at my desk, right now. All of them leave a mark when I scratch them on a piece of paper....
This looks like ignorance on parade.
“The letter states the restrictions are due to allergy concerns (a stupid concession of its own), but I’ve never heard of a person with a pork allergy.”

Me neither. And while I do know some people with real food allergies, I think a large number of these allergies are phony. Allergies are just being used to dictate to everyone what they can and can’t eat.
With all due respect, your wife isn't the one doing the 'creative' coloring. More likely than not, the child sees no difference. The enjoyment the child gets is satisfaction in completion, and with a good "well done" added to that.
