I have no pity for the people suffering this totalitarian oppression. Chicago has the government they deserve.
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
What is the nutritional value of an uneaten lunch?
“The school, though, does not allow students to bring in their own lunches, unless they have a medical condition or a food allergy.”
WHAT?!!!
When I went to school, I could bring lunches, or buy them whenever I pleased on any given day. On a given day, I usually decided to bring my own, because I hated waiting in line, then deciding to eat afterwards.
Well, I guess this is Chicago though.
Moochelle’s meddling into what kids can and can’t eat at school....Any Chicago area freepers up for a day of civil disobediance? Hand out Brownies and choc. chip cookies dressed in your best tea party gear! LOL....
The schools depend on the federal school lunch cash... can’t have kids who want better tasting food derailing the gravy train.
This is all about E-Rate funding. If they’re not an 85% or above school, no Priority 2 funding.....
Follow the money.
Ping!!!
They should complain to Mayor Rahm Emmanuel. Oh, that’s right, he’s just part of the problem.
Here is the “School’s” Web Site:

If I were a parent this thing would set off red lights all over the place.
Any school that bans homemade lunches also puts more money in the pockets of the district's food provider, Chartwells-Thompson. The federal government pays the district for each free or reduced-price lunch taken, and the caterer receives a set fee from the district per lunch.
There's the reason. I wonder of the principal has any economic ties with this company.
Welcome to Chicago, where the government owns you.
I bet they make the kids say a pagan blessing over their earth-meal too.
The parents in this school had better start making some serious noise.
Without competition is it any wonder that the quality went down?
Socialist nitwits cannot ever fathom the value of competition - OR - as is more likely - they are part of the beneficiaries of the monopoly policy.
The guber mint is there to help.
What’s the problem? Parents have willingly allowed communist union slugs to control their kids brains so why the heck not allow the Marxists to control their diet?
As we have allowed the incremental cancer of socialism/communism/Marxism to infect every aspect of our daily lives what makes us think our children are ours to raise?
Might as well delete the 1st and 2nd Amendments as we no longer have enough people with a backbone and a love of what the founders risked their lives and fortunes for to fight the government on the local/state/federal level, and while we are at it, the UN level as our boy wonder in the Oval Office wants us to all bend over for international law.
