Why Did a Tennessee Grade School Ban Pork?
Fox News & Commentary ^ | August 15, 2013 | Todd Starnes

A Tennessee elementary school banned students from eating ham sandwiches, BLT’s and anything else made with pork, but eventually lifted the ban after parents complained.

Third grade teachers at Sunset Elementary School in Brentwood, Tenn. sent home an “Approved Snack List” for the school year and it specifically banned anything that comes from a pig.snacklist

“No meats containing pork,” read the memorandum. “Starting Monday, August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above approved snack list.”

Kids could nosh on raw vegetables without dips or sauces, fresh fruit, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn – but no ribs or pork rinds.

“Only choose a food from the following list to bring into school for snack,” the memorandum stated in bold-face type. “No other food items are permitted.”

Pork stays.

Muslims go.

If we don’t there will be war sooner or later.

That’s how they are.

That’s how they’ve always been.

Insane. In addition to the no pork, what if some family wants to try and save a few bucks by buying “store brand” pretzels? Rold Gold pretzels only? Who the hell do these people think they are?

Parents should find the controlling bitch that put this list together and tar and feather her ass.

They even dictated the brands. That’s amazing. Our local school district has been dictating healthy snacks and lunches for several years, but I am sure that they never dictated brands or banned pork products. Of course, pork rinds are not a popular snack around here.

And why only certain brands of popcorn and pretzels?

They want Rold Gold because the minority kids like Rold Gold. While you and I might have to buy Great Value! brand pretzels from Walmart, these minority kids’ parents have EBT cards, TANF, SNAP, WICs, EITC, Section 8 and all the other minority lotto cards and THEY buy only the good junk food fo dem chilrun. That’s why.

Agree 100%. The person behind this should be publically identified - and hopefully humiliated. If she gets run out of town, then all the better.

I was brought up to treat ladies like ladies. This one ain’t no lady. I’m afraid I’d deck her ass right there if I saw her.

The letter states the restrictions are due to allergy concerns (a stupid concession of its own), but I’ve never heard of a person with a pork allergy.

Yeah...not surprising that Brentwood is a hoity-toity, rich, highly liberal part of Nashville. At least it was in the early 90s when I was living in Antioch, which is the complete opposite! Boise's North End reminds me a lot of Brentwood, only without the gobs of music industry money. Bunch of liberal do-gooders who need a Holiday In Cambodia (a Dead Kennedys reference).

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Why must the meat be “rolled up”?

I’ve seen more than one “school list” that demands ONLY Ticonderoga Number 2 whatever pencils...I saw it enough to do a background search on the owners of Ticonderoga Pencils.

The search was inconclusive as far as political loyalties go, but I suspect that Ticonderoga Marketing may be farther into our school systems than we may realize. In this case, I’d look for money and perks to the teachers....

It would be an interesting investigation by a real journalist, but alas, there are none in this country any more.

Maybe Pepperidge Farm and Nabisco are big Obama donors.

Because the same woman that made the list is probably the same kind of female that likes to “intensively direct” her boyfriend/husband/’life-partner’ in the bedroom.

It is very weird that they allow only certain brands.
