The school food Nazi police are at it again. First, they came in the Chicago area, where a school principal demanded their students not bring their lunch from home but instead, eat the school lunches.
Now, in North Carolina, the school Nazi police are at it by looking in a student's lunch box and if the lunch doesn't meet the government standards, they force a student to eat a lunch provided by the school.
From NcCvitias.org: A mother in Hoke County complains her daughter was forced to eat a school lunch because a government inspector determined her home-made lunch did not meet nutrition requirements. In fact, all of the students in the NC Pre-K program classroom at West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford had to accept a school lunch in addition to their lunches brought from home.
NC Pre-K (before this year known as More at Four) is a state-funded education program designed to “enhance school readiness” for four year-olds.
The mother, who doesn’t wish to be identified at this time, says she made her daughter a lunch that contained a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips. A state inspector assessing the pre-K program at the school said the girl also needed a vegetable, so the inspector ordered a full school lunch tray for her. While the four-year-old was still allowed to eat her home lunch, the girl was forced to take a helping of chicken nuggets, milk, a fruit and a vegetable to supplement her sack lunch....
The government inspector was from the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised program at the FPG Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program gives schools a grade based on standards that include USDA meal guidelines enforced by the N.C. Division of Early Childhood Development.
The nutrition standards for pre-K lunch require milk, two servings of fruit or vegetable, bread or grains and a meat or meat alternative. The school didn’t receive a high grade from the January assessment because the home-made lunches didn’t meet those guidelines. The mother points out the only thing on that list her daughter’s home lunch didn’t have was milk, so she doesn’t understand why the girl was given a complete school meal as a supplement. http://www.nccivitas.org/2012/state-inspectors-searching-childrens-lunch-boxes-this-isnt-china-is-it/
I haven't heard of this happening in Las Vegas but I will not be surprised if this happens. But I will also not be surprised that if this did happen at a Las Vegas school, the inspector will meet the business end of a pitchfork.
And considering this is coming from the USDA, a federal agency, that should also come as no surprise. The Obama administration wants to take over every aspect of our life. And remember Hillary Clinton as she said it takes a village to raise a child, with the village being a euphemism for government.
And if Obama is re-elecected, look for an inspector in every classroom.
