Doctor Dad SLAPS DOWN Busybody Teacher Over Daughter’s Sack Lunch
The Daily Caller ^ | January 24, 2015 | Eric Owens

Posted on 01/25/2015 4:04:53 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A Kirksville, Mo. doctor righteously and very satisfyingly slapped down a substitute teacher after she sent a note home condemning the lunch his second-grade daughter had brought to school.

The doctor and mad dad is Justin Puckett, reports ABC News.

As Puckett — who is certified in obesity medicine — later observed to the principal at the school, the teacher and a cafeteria worker didn’t see the whole lunch. Sure, they saw a pickle, a bag of marshmallows, some Ritz crackers and four tiny chocolate bars.

Importantly, what the sub and the lunch lady missed were four pieces of ham and a stick of low-fat string cheese.

There was no bread because the Puckett family isn’t big on bread. Also, the chocolate bars were for sharing with friends.

four pieces of ham
That's not halal. Next thing you know, he'll be giving her a pet dog.

Might as well sell her to Boko Haram, before she becomes an upstanding, independent-minded Westerner.

Where in Gods name does a teacher get off discussing the contents of a kids lunchbag with a parent? Teaches have no business lecturing parents.

...

I call it Michelle Madness.

Hmmm. Ok. Nice response.

But I have to point out that this ‘doctor’s’ grammar and spelling are that of a grade-schooler...pretty pathetic, imho.

What a quaint notion. So...50s. I'm sure Dobie's father would have a few words with her.

And his penmanship! Now I know why doctors have that reputation for writing illegibly.

Just wait until Common Core really gets cranked up. Next level is described in Orwell’ 1984.

I don't think I've ever eaten that before. But I may have accidentally stepped in it.

...I guess you actually READ the article. Many did not. I DO understand what you are saying, and you may be totally right, though maybe not, because there are some nice and "good guy" people who in this confusing world make little mistakes.

I hope people click the reference link and READ like you did and form their own opinions, and then check things out some more...

I actually suspect the Dad/Doctor is an "OK" person, but is not very politically engaged, such that the public response to this (in the news media), when he realized that the teacher is just a PERSON and not actually a representative of "the system," is LARGE and he became protective of the teacher. That's what doctors do, and many would also complain if he he was callus to her. (Reference: "It's a Wonderful Life -- teacher issue scene"

So he backtracked a little, probably out of compassion, not appreciating the larger issues (if he ever has realized them) compared to the local pain he thought he was causing to an individual.

No surprise, a doctor works with INDIVIDUALS and does not want to cause pain.

If a doctor was only concerned with POPULATIONS and was JUST FINE with causing individual pain and trauma "for a good cause," we all would be horrified and would (justifiably) complain about that too. Try the psychopathic obamanite, "Ezekiel Emanuel MD, PhD" for the horrific version. His article "Why I Hope To Die At 75" says it all. (He is the brother of the obanation's original chief of staff and now the boss ("Mayor") of Chicago.)

The teacher, also, may be anyone's daughter trying to do her best, maybe trying more than most. Or not. I do not know. But she needed educated, and apparently got that, thanks to the doc.

So maybe they are aholes. Maybe not. I think it likely that we all are aholes at times even when we have good hearts.

In these evil times I am trying to reserve my depreciations for "the systems" that are evil and for those who go especially out of their way to support those evils. No lack of targets even with those limitations....

Agreed. First thing that came to mind was Montezuma’s revenge.
