It becomes a red letter day in America, when the government starts telling you what you can and cannot do. It is even worse when you find out that our public school system is simply becoming some kind of re-education camp for your children as if we were living in the days of Chairman Mao.
The Little Village Academy School, which is located in the people's corrupt republic of Chicago, basically tells students they can either eat cafeteria food only, or go hungry. Simply disgraceful.
The school, acting like nothing more than a prison, says that this policy, enacted a few years ago, was designed to encourage students to choose more healthier food choices. You may remember Michelle Obama going around the nation lecturing kids that they should eat carrots, instead of cupcakes, and then the next day she's at the White House chowing down on ribs and pizza. A little hypocritical isn't it?
Granted, students in our schools should get a nutritional and balanced diet, however they should not go without, if they simply choose not to eat at the school's cafeteria, and they're parents should have the right to pack their kids' own lunches and allow them to bring it to school. Remember the line, "let them eat cake."
This has apparently started a national debate on how schools are providing nutritional lunches to kids. Other schools across the country either have already enacted similar policies or are in the process of doing so.
Judging from news reports, the students at Little Village Academy hate the cafeteria food so much, they just throw it away. Kind of wasting money on school food, aren't we?
