A state-level bureaucrat is standing up to the the central government planners is a most unusual way.
Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction, Diane Douglas, has informed all school districts in the Grand Canyon State that they have blanket authority to ignore all federal nutrition mandates regulating school fundraisers.
"Forcing parents and other supporters of schools to only offer federally approved food and snacks at fundraisers is a perfect example of the overreach of government and intrusion into local control," Douglas said in a statement. "I have ordered effective immediately, that the ADE Health and Nutrition Services division grant exemptions for all fundraisers for both traditional public schools and charter public schools.”
Douglas made news during the campaign for superintendent for her vocal opposition to the Common Core educational scheme.
“The voters have rendered their decision and they have rejected Common Core in Arizona. We must now work on creating a new set of higher state standards that will prepare our students for a lifetime of success,” Douglas said in November.
The regulations rejected by Douglas are part of the Smart Snacks in School program designed to make sure children being educated by the government only eat food the government approves, including any fare offered at a bake sale.
A post on the EdWeek blog describes the intended effect of the snack regulations:

Resist the federal Nanny State PING!
This is nice to see.
She’s great. Glad I voted for her. Ducey and the country club are already not fond of her.
We need more Americans like her to STAND UP AGAINST OUR FEDS and just SAY NO! We’re not going to take your dictatorship ways over our everyday lives! Yea for Diane Douglas!
Diane Douglas is not a bureaucrat, she is an elected official and is doing what she campaigned on. She isn’t all that obscure in Arizona either. She campaigned on stopping Commie Core and has been calling out the AZ governor Doug Duchebage on his failure to fulfil his campaign promises to do the same.
I’m going to hazard a guess and say that Doug Duchebag has no intention of fulfulling that promise.
Good job. She should run for governor next election cycle. Gov. Duecy reinstated two common core advocates she fired. Not sure why as of yet. Another RINO? Perhaps.
So they can still have Hot Cheetos with Nacho cheese sauce, yum.
Way to go Diane Douglas and the Sovereign State of Arizona. Let it start with cupcakes! If only the Arkansas judges had stuck with their original rejection of federal imposition of homo “marriage” and told Obama to enforce his vile tyranny at the end of a gun.
BRAVO!!!
I raise a chewy chocolate chip cookie in honor.
Good!
She better watch out or Moochelle will come down there and sit on her!
You betcha!
The other “Cupcake Wars”.

Good for Arizona.
Thanks for the ping!
