More evidence for what David Horowitz pointed out on Beck the other day. Liberals are only liberal about sex and drugs. On everything else, they want to control your life.
When I was in middle school, my uncle took my cousins and I to a donut shop before school. We didn’t pick out the plain donuts, if you no what I mean. LOL!!! According to the article, it seems that this “counselor” has forced her “views” on the students, who are purchasing things they like during their time off campus. It doesn’t seem that the city made it mandatory of all the stores. If the parents agree with this so much, maybe they shouldn’t give their children money when they go to school. They can have pre purchased lunch tickets for school. Oh vey!!!
Now, with cigarette consumption falling faster than the taxes on cigarettes are climbing, it's time for the democrat health “experts” (as expert as Al Gore perhaps?) to insist that we tax a wide variety of things they insist are harmful. The truth of the matter is, they want to rationalize their spending like drunken madmen, not reduce the consumption of such things as sodas. When soda taxes are insufficient, then tax beef, or eggs, or better yet, tax the exhaling of carbon.
Whenever a democrat wants to reduce a specific behavior, they say they can tax that behavior in order for it to be reduced. Whenever a democrat wants to encourage a specific behavior, they say that they can tax that behavior in order to insure it keeps growing.
Buy a clue, these are people who only want to reduce the citizens of this republic to the status of slaves and they've had that same, single, goal ever since they seceded from the union in an attempt to keep their slaves.

Yes, they want to control all other things—like how early your children can start indulging in sex and drugs (with adults, of course).
I know how these people think. What you’ll eventually get is a latter day Sodom and Gomorrah, or a typical San Francisco street fair.
Why the 1% milk? Children’s brains need good fat.
His decision is self-punishing. That's justice.
Cartman: Hey, Chad, you know what you need? You need a friend.
Chad: I’d, I do?
Cartman: Yes. A chocolate friend. Mr. Candy Bar doesn’t judge you, Chad. Mr. Candy Bar likes you just the way you are. Look at how yummy and sweet he is. There you go. That’ll just be four dollars. There you go.
Candy sales are a major fundraiser for schools in my area.
I wonder how much of this has to do with the kid’s health, and how much has to do with the store competing with the school’s organizations candy sales?
I got busted in the 3th grade for selling cinnamon oil toothpicks for nickle apiece in school.
Most likely hamas will be the looser.:-))
Since when does a State Employee, (in this case a “School Counselor”) have any authority whatsoever to request any business to restrict their sales for any reason?
I realize this is the People’s Republic of Berkeley were talking about here, but there are legal limits on what they can do as well.
I remember those... and the kids dealing the Now & Later’s candies.
So when are the schools going to stop feeding the students minds with candy ideas from the propaganda of the socialist Left?
We gulped our dinners down so that there was more time to play before dark. We always got plenty of sleep because bedtime was at 9:00 o'clock.
Today's kids don't play outside. They are worried about the boogieman who stops their car and asks, “Hey kid, want some candy?” Today's kids wouldn't know what it means to throw a rock—with accuracy (we even made up our own slings!). Today's kids sit in their fortresses with artificial entertainment and snacks to take away the boredom. And many stay up way past 9:00 o'clock. That is a recipe for weight gain. However, it is a symptom of a society that has taken the kid out of the outdoors. It is a symptom of a society that wants too much control and the kid is an easy mark because they can be manipulated by fears of boogiemen.
As a 14 year old, I was quite the entrepreneur. I carried a briefcase and sold candy at school. Bought it for a nickel and sold for 10 cents.
Berkeley, huh....OK so you’re saying that the city of kids who took over the campus and view dropping acid as some kind of RIGHT are now all grown up, and now deny their kids CANDY.
RIGHT?
