The schools should enter into a class action suit stating that the fed has no authority over the schools. Enter the US Constitution as proof.

I know. The feds lately ignore the Constitution but it still matters to many of us!

Oh no. This will surely sink Trump. Good grief. Next, please.

Mandates from Marxists. Welcome to your life, kids.

This woman has no power!! She was not voted in to any government position. Fight this crap and see what authority Moochelle has over our kids!! This was like Hillary Clinton evoking executive privilege when she was First “Lady.”

Wow!!!! an article on the Obama admin and it’s policies. Nope not even gonna read the thing, just amazed that someone is still talking about the potus and their wonderful policies.

Are these really “fines” or just withhold certain Federal funds?

[DBrow]

The Feds get their hooks in when a school accepts Fed money, so it’s a contractual issue, not a constitutional one. The Feds make compliance with “stuff” a requirement to get the money.

No but I fear she has many minions working in the school system that will do her bidding unquestioned.

What right do the Feds have in dictating lunch menu for local schools?

Don’t just fine the schools! Have the cafeteria managers fed to wild, rabid animals! Show that the government really means it!

No. moochelle does not have the right to put a law into effect. There is a process for making laws, and both this ugly-a$$ thing and her husband don’t follow it.

The feds do not have the right to enforce something that is not a law.

I think we need a Big Butt Fine too!

They've done the same thing with States. Citizens send their tax money to DC, then DC doles it back to the states when they toe the line.

A ‘DIRECTIVE’ IN NOT A LAW!
