Is this a new Progressive mandate?

As long as Progressivism advocates for the rights of the collective over the rights of the individual, I'll blame whomever I damned well please.

All in all I ain't just another brick in the wall.

The State's agent inspects the lunchbox and tells the little girl her lunch does not meet the States criteria. Are you kidding me?
If you like this kind of government control vote for Obama.
Preschooler’s Homemade Lunch Replaced with Cafeteria “Nuggets”
This is what the master minds like Michelle Obama want. You may be competent enough to vote for Obama, but you are not competent enough to pack a lunch for your own child.

When special needs can equate to death they do. Looking only at peanut allergies here the allergic reaction that a person can have can prove lethal. As most know, many potato chip brands utilize some sort of peanut oil in the processing of their products. As such many school districts are careful in curtailing such allergens today, and who is to blame them, we after all live in an extremely litigious society.

Curiously, I can find literally no confirmation of this story, anywhere. What little is out there basically is a regurgitation of the original story linked above. There is nothing else, not even on the school or school district websites.

Have we all been had?

If a child is that allergic then it is the responsibility of the parent to see that their child does not take in what is harmful. In no way, shape, form or fashion should it effect child a.

The school districts can not speak on it, as they know they would be in deep dodo if they gave away the child's identity. It has been on several news outlets today.

I was just going to say.... yet ANOTHER reason to homeschool! I can not imagine what I would do if someone had the gall to tell my child the lunch that I sent with her was not "good enough".

Same one source though, doesn't matter if a million news outlets report it.
I could give a CRAP about the childs identity. Tell me who the "government inspector" is. There is no privacy in news, if it is real the names will come out. If they don't, it didn't happen.

Your standards are pretty low. The "michelle obama" angle is kind of played out and not even relevant except in the minds of idiots.
