Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned. A semblance of any of those out of most people now days would be a welcome surprise....
We didn't use any government funds to bake our cookies - they were very profitable and paid for themselves. We also made large special occasion cookies to order (several racks of them on Valentine's Day, for example). Also the kids...as well as the teachers and administration...ordered specially made birthday cookies for friends. They weren't free. They had to pay for them.
Now we are not allowed to make them at all.
The understanding is the same at my daughter's old school. Even though the funds were not government, the school is forbidden now from selling any a la carte food items that aren't part of the federal lunch program. It's quite sad, really, because the culinary classes will continue to make the food since it is part of the curriculum, but now, instead of benefiting from their efforts, the school will simply lose that fundraising opportunity as well as the ability for that program to be self-funding. The culinary classes used to make enough to pay for all of their supplies and use the excess for fundraising for the school. Not to mention the wasted food. It's the issue when the government takes a one size fit all approach to everything. There are nuances which are lost in such an approach.

If it's on school property, there is. Basically, any food made or sold on school property becomes the purview of the Federal government under these new rules. Most schools used a la carte programs as a supplement to the school's budget. The lunch provided, as the regular lunch, was within the new guidelines but now they've forbidden anything else from being sold. These schools are trying to offer the most they can to the students on a budget that doesn't allow them the 'extras' such as arts, field trips, etc, etc. This was a profitable means of allowing the schools to offer those additional programs since the budget cut them long ago. Sad really.

Again, if people had any morals, they would not be disrespecting a man's wife. They are sick and have no respect for the marital relationship.

Are they going to send in federal agents to arrest the lunch ladies? If people simply said "no" all of this would go away.

I'm sorry, but that thinking is archaic. I do not expect someone to respect me just because I'm married. I would hope that they judge me for me. As a woman, I especially have the right to judge the First Lady. I do not judge her on her husband's performance. I judge her on her own behavior and words.

Is that the first lady?
