These people need the relationship between parents and their children “explained” to them.
gads I used to get the kids those disgusting Lunchables once a week, they begged for them Ick. But at least they were excited about the meal

Does anyone have respect for the public schools anymore?
Wasn’t it so much easier when it was a schoolmarm and a one room school house?
I really need to stop asking myself “how much more can we take”? Each time I do, POOF.
Chicken nuggets again. What is it with the chicken nuggets? Those things contain chicken buttholes and faces and who knows what else all ground up and then deep fried. Nutritious.
The objective it to teach those little kids that only government cares for them and they cannot trust their parents.
I am so investing in chicken stock.
ENOUGH WITH THE FREAKING NUGGETS A-HOLES!!!
What a week. Government-forced abortion and government-forced feeding all in the same week. Obama’s on a roll.
The Nugget Nazis strike again!
Can you say ‘nugget’ any more? I thought we were supposed to say ‘African-American’?
Let me help here.
Sometimes lunch is whatever the urban kid picks at the 7-11 with a food stamp. It’s usually a bust-open(chips), candy and a soda or other sweet drink. That is mostly likely what happened.
I’ve given these two stories of the lunch nazis some thought on how I would react if I was the parent. While it would cost me some time and money, it would put the school on notice (legal notice) and save me time and trouble in the future. I would:
Take a lawyer, preferably a civil rights specialist, to the school with me to meet with the superintendent or principal. I would hand them a written notice (legal notice) that if they tried to inspect or interfere with my child’s lunch that I provided the child, they would have charges filed against them and the school district would be taken to court for civil rights violations, privacy violations and any other that the lawyer could think up to put in the legal notice.
I would have the lawyer explain to the administrator just what “being put on legal notice” means and what the possible consequences would be if they took any action or discriminated against my child in any conceivable way, or violated any privacy, imagined or otherwise. I’d have the lawyer list the costs of legal litigation expenses and let him point out that the school officials would be named “personally and individually” in addition to their being named in their “official” positions. He could point out that this may require that the school officials may need to obtain (and pay for) the services of a attorney, separate from the school district’s legal representation.
I would have the attorney hand them the citations of federal law regarding deprivation of rights under color of law and advise them that charges would be filed both under those federal statutes and any state statutes that might apply.
Then I’d have the attorney give them statements to sign acknowledging that they had been provided all of this and that they fully understood the legal jeopardy that they were in if they should cause any further problem with my child.
They could explain anything they wanted, but only after they had been given the notices and signed the statements. If they refused to accept them, then the lawyer would point out that he has legally witnessed their being advised and given the notices so the “legal notification” still applies.
Then I’d thank them for their time and leave with the lawyer. Preferably, we would record the whole thing also.
Once they had cleaned up their underwear, I suspect that they would leave my kid alone and hope they didn’t see me back at the school ever again.
Believe me, I’ve done things like this and it works wonders with government a##holes who think their’s doesn’t stink. Once they find that they can be **personally** sued and will have to shoulder the cost of their personal legal representation, most will realize that discretion is the better part of valor and my kid’s lunches would be the last thing they’d want anybody to touch.
Walking into a meeting with a good, aggressive attorney and taking control away from them that they usually have works wonders.
If I knew a cop or sheriff who’d help us just by accompanying us to make sure no physical threats were made against us, I have them there also.
Much future time, money and effort would be saved with one little legal tete ‘a tete with the right attitude adjustment. But most people are too scared of the “authorities” and think that a phone call or an email will do something. Nothing but a full on, aggressive legal game will do it. Going alone to meet or complain is useless as there is no witnesses on your side.
It’s nice if you can get a local newspaper or teevee reporter to go along with you too. Even more effective is if they school officials don’t know that it is a reporter who’s with you. Amazing what happens when afterward the reporter goes and asks the officials for a public statement on the meeting. Bullying officials will crap their drawers when they find out they’ve acted nastily in front of the reporter.

It has nothing to do with nutrition ... it’s all about control. Think about it ... a kid comes to class with a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, a drink and bag of chips. The other kids have some unappetizing processed fried mystery (alleged) chicken lumps, overcooked vegetables and something supposedly good for them to drink. Now which do you think is going to be eaten and which is going to be coveted by the other children. Moo doesn’t give a rats a$$ about any ones health ... it’s all about control.
