Hang on folks. This occurred in the Williamson county school district. The letter was sent home with students. One parent forwarded this letter to our fine morning talk show host. -Ralph Bristol. ( www.ralphbristol.com). He spoke about it at great length I believe it was this past Monday or Tuesday morning. By the end of the day the school sent out an announcement retracting all the info in this letter. They stated something to the effect that it was only one teacher that did this, it was not meant to be mandatory just a recommendation. Major retraction. In my estimation, this backtrack and retraction was entirely due to our fine morning talk show guy and his super audience ( 99.7 WTN). :)
Thats what it sounds like to me. One idiotic teacher putting out a memo to her class.
Here is the schools response to complaints regarding this letter. This is from the Williamson County Schools facebook page.
Attention elementary school parents, we have an important message to pass along.
Many of you may have recently received information addressing food allergies and approved snack lists. This is an issue we take very seriously as we have many students who have life threatening food allergies.
However, if you received a list of approved or mandated choices, please disregard. Schools should only be offering suggested snack choices, and that information will be sent home only if your child is in a classroom where there is a food allergy.
Any reference to not allowing pork products in school is incorrect. Please disregard.
Thank you as always for your support of Williamson County Schools.
Cheers to them backtracking but the principal approved of it or it couldn’t have been sent out. A little crack in the wall here and another there and you know what is coming. OTOH, it might have been a good thing to know just where Junior’s teacher stands so you can demand another teacher.
