Second mother comes forward with claim NC school confiscated "unhealthy" lunch

Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Feb 18 19:17:18 2012

This time, we have a name and a far more specific charge:

I think the first mother was probably telling the truth.

I guess this will convince Jeff Rosen.

Pretty sad. It's illegal for parents to send their kids to school with a sandwich.

This is why government wants the percentage of single-parent households to continue growing. It allows government to have more control.

???? How does saying something like that make it any better?
The fact that the school even thinks that it should be able to second guess what a parent sends with their child as lunch is an abomination.
The other two mentioned things, especially the Advil is bad, but the lunch thing is ridiculous.

Convince you that the school wants final say over what students eat and will confiscate lunches provided by parents.

It's about how much power the state should have over a parent-child relationship. There is good reason for the school to want to provide a health lunch to students. But parents should have final say.

And how are chicken nuggets "healthy"? Because it's a "serving of meat/poultry"? Those things are loaded with calories.

I'd love to see the menu for an entire month. Just curious. Even if the food is good(I doubt that it is), parents should still be allowed to provide a lunch for their children.

Of course they should. The school lunches should be there just as they always have been, if the parent doesn't send their kid to school with lunch, so they have lunch, or if the parent doesn't want their kid eating what the school provides. That is the PARENT decision. Of course for the kids that threw their mother's lunch in the trash and bought whatever the school is selling. Either way it's not the public institution's decision to overstep a parent.

In a blanket statement kind of way it is. Specifically no, because if the school bans home lunches, parents know upfront what's going on. And it's not really lunch "inspection" but more some school employee noticing someone's lunch and commenting on it, which is bullshit.

That's locally set policies which the parents can change by running for school board and then changing the policy. It isn't difficult, and would set a good example for the kids about enacting change in a positive manner. Fact is, it doesn't mean enough to the parents to do it. It takes time and effort on their part, they'd rather just whine about it.

And here we see them whining about a local control issue that they could readily change by running for their local school board and changing the policy. But that takes effort and dedication, which is clearly lacking or we wouldn't be discussing this. It's easier to troll forums and whine I guess.

Fer chrissakes, it's a local school board's policy. Government has much bigger things to handle than PB&J. Go run for school board and set the lunch policy. The Dept of Agriculture, which funds the school lunch program has NO policy on brown bag lunches. There is no other authority to answer to WRT this.

Do everyone a favor, get off the internet, run for school board and change the lunch policy. Trolling the forum here about it isn't going to change a thing.
