SNIP:
Sasha and Malia apparently arent enough for Michelle Obama. She wants to mother our children, too. Thats the only conclusion that can be reached when observing the First Ladys campaign to decrease parents role in raising their children.
Obamas latest method of gaining more control is through school food nutrition standards. Noting that home-packed lunches arent up to the First Ladys standards, the government is making school meals free for all, regardless of income, as part of a four-state pilot program that begins this fall.
Given our penchant for free stuff, parents will be walking right into the trap. But never fear, the media cheers. The Muskegon (Mich.) Chronicle reports:
Muskegon parents can put the peanut butter back on the shelf and the bologna sandwiches back in the refrigerator, because this year breakfast and lunch will be served free to all student.
More disturbing than the cost of this unnecessary program is the way Obama is further cutting parents out of the picture and hijacking their critical role. We constantly hear from bureaucrats and government school apologists who say parents arent involved enough. Their solution? Decrease parental responsibility even more. By encouraging free government lunches for all students, Michelle Obama is creating a situation that will increase government interference in family life and take a major responsibility away from parents.
But, hey, why worry about Johnnys lunch when Uncle Sam is taking care of it?
all of it here
Michelle Obama Continues to Increase the Government
