You seem to want to argue that lunches from home shouldn't be inspected or confiscated.
Yes. Exactly.
You seem to be arguing that gvmt should decide for others..Not "you" of course.You put whatever you wanted to in your childs lunch....you just want others to have to comply with a useless and intrusive statist policy that doesn't affect you.
Almost as if I've disagreed with that somewhere on here.
Surrender all decisions to the gvmt. is your statist premise.
No. But a public school is not a restaurant. Nobody's going to make your kid something to order.
No one said they should. We're talking about intrusive gvmt policies.
If people are going to avail themselves of the school-provided lunch, then it's going to meet some standards.
We're talking about schools inspecting home made lunches for "compliance".
Those standards might change from time to time. Ketchup will no longer be considered a vegetable.
Where did anyone say ketchup was considered a vegetable? When you're cornered, distraction might work on some people...not others.
If you don't like it, then make your choice to send in a lunch from home. If the school in question is being overly intrusive about your homemade lunch, then fight like hell. Or home school.
Keeping gvmt out of it isn't an option to you, though..
Home schooling is the best way to keep your children from being indoctrinated and lied to, but unfortunately most people have to work for a living and can't.
Private schools are a better, but more expensive, way to keep your children's minds from being warped by lies, misinformation, propaganda and socialist "common core" nonsense.
The gvmt has no business being involved in "education" anyway.
