redistribution of taxpayer funds from one guv agency to another...you know, for the kids
Why not discipline the individual that did the dirty deed, instead of punishing the kids? That is Progressive thinking for you.... Throw a blanket and run from under it.

Selling soda isnt a "dirty deed", the rules are that they can sell soda all day long, except lunch time.
The stupidity is that kids will of course simply buy soda during breakfast, and then drink it during lunch.
Lol...The Blaze...Not news, but Glen Becks right wing rag.
It's spelled Glenn, smart one. If you're going to bash someone, maybe you could at least spell their name right.
You and people like you have shown that when you can't debate the topic, you bash the source. Nice.

It's not the fine that's stupid, it's the rule. Why would someone make such a stupid rule?

What is so stupid about. Soda is definitely bad for you. Look at the Obesity articles as to where we are heading. Most sodas have about 35 grams of sugar.
Look at Appalachia and the kids there. Mountain Dew is supposedly the favorite soda in that area. The kids ll have rotten teeth(poor) because i think they say it has more sugar than other soda. It's not one of the required food groups so why sell it to them. Start teaching proper diets at school because most won't get it anywhere else.
I've read about this incident on numerous sites, yet none of them mention the actual law that the school broke. They give the jist of it "turn off soda machines during lunch", but I'd like to read the actual law in place.
My argument? I simply asked why you run around defending stupid rules like this..
They do exist, you dont know that but you ran around defending what you admit, you dont know about? I didnt get my panties in a know because thats not all you said, I asked you why you are defending something you dont even know exist, and something as stupid as this. Rather than answer, you go on babbling this type of bs..
You just defended it again above, and now saying you arent. Give it a break..
Go ahead and quote the law I apparently defended and you've been ******** about.
"Absolutely no candy or soda machines are allowed in a cafeteria area. Principal Burton says inspectors determined that because students take their lunches into the hallway, the entire school is considered a cafeteria. “They can't fit in the cafeteria so they come out into the hallways, and because they come out into the hallways, it makes are entire a school a cafeteria; which means the pop machines and the candy machines we have cannot be on."
Inspectors also found soda being sold in the bookstore. That discovery led to thousands of dollars in fines. Burton says the money had to come out of the regular school budget. "The big loser is the student"
And candy that sticks to your teeth isn't healthy but other candy is? What kind of stupidity is this? You can buy a coke in the hall and bring it to lunch but not buy it in the lunchroom? What moron inspector even flagged anybody for this idiocy? Probably some democrat.
Then there is this.........
"There are also plans at Davis High to put soda and candy vending machines in a converted janitor’s closet, with a door, to comply with federal guidelines. "
So the evil kids who want to grab a coke and a tootsie roll now have to hide in a janitors closet from big brother. I'm shocked halloween hasn't been banned yet or throwing candy at parades by these fools.

Any link to the law? Or, must you continue to rely on "mainstream media"?
Yup, I can see it now. Drug dealers switching to soda, Snickers and potato chips sold outside of the school gates from the trunk of their car. "Hey kid, lookin' for a little Mountain Dew and a pack of Twizzlers?"
