O'Reilly: Lunch Decisions

Townhall- Back in the Stone Age, I brought my noon meal to school in a Davy Crockett lunchbox. It was made of cheap metal, and had I eaten it, the taste would have been similar to the sandwich inside, usually bologna or tuna on soggy bread. My mother also included an apple (usually thrown, not ingested) and some Mallomar cookies: 800 calories each. According to an article in The Chicago Tribune, my standard lunch would not have been acceptable at the Little Village Academy public school in the Windy City. The principal, Elsa Carmona, is quoted as saying that her students can either eat the school cafeteria food or "go hungry." Wow! Tough dietary deal. Carmona went on to say that some parents are morons who allow their children to eat garbage and that is not going to happen on her watch. The Tribune quotes her: "It's about ... the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It's milk versus a Coke." Read full column here: News New Mexico

This principal needs to be removed. IT IS NOT HER BUSINESS. Children are the business of their parents, not the state and not the busybodies like this principal.

Forcing students to eat what the principal puts on the menu is alright but just try and force them to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance and that's grounds for an ACLU law suit? So, what's wrong with America these days? The founding fathers would have stocked a lot of powder and made plenty of lead musket balls by now.
