yep, and driving them off campus to eat... will result in kids dying from car accidents.
But that money is coming out of the mouths of the child-run!
Just say no - “Not paying it.”

Nudge my ass! A $15,000 is a kick in the crotch.
The gubment must be removed from power.
The fine is just a way of getting TAXES from the parents/taxpayers without the benefits of representation. Period.
The $15,000 fine that is.
It's going to take a lot of time and patience to fix what the last 3 plus years of Obama and cronies have done!!
School to feds: Drop the fine or we stop distributing free (or reduced) lunches.
Fine Arts??? Take it away from football, then people might start to care.
This is criminalization of commerce by regulation. These are the first fruits of totalitarianism whereby the state oppresses the subject through unknowable rules.
“But that money is coming out of the mouths of the child-run!”
Yes, however the feds will immediately reroute the money to hire people to rewrite American history and educate our nation’s yutes in the greater glory that is Obama.
“This is criminalization of commerce by regulation”
Yeah, but there’s the old principle of whatever they subsidize they can regulate. I’m sure their power to fine derives from the fact that they dump other people’s money on the school. We’ve got a vicious cycle going, with federal subsidies. They take money from the people, and in order for the state governments to get it back they havge to agree to a few concessions. Nothing major, just a little social engineering.
States can’t resist it. They’re governments, too, and they need their revenue. They haven’t any central back to print it up. Individuals can’t resist it, either. No one can. It’s their money in some, other people’s in many, cases, and damned if it’ll end up over the border. Filthy lucre is the feds’ trump card. At least until they go bankrupt, which isn’t far off.
Hope and change, indeed.
How was a drink machine sneaked into the school bookstore (school bookstore?) without the knowledge of any relevant school officials?
Not that the regulation isn't idiotic beyond belief, but still ...
I can see if this had been at my relatively conservative country school back in the 1980's. Most of the teachers would have announced, "Snack machines being shut down in 15 minutes for lunch, anybody that wan't to grab a coke for lunch take five and get it now!"
WHO WAS THE SNITCH??????
Words fail....
That was my thought also.

If UT pols have any bols they’ll send DC a hearty GFY !
