A North Carolina mom is irate after her four-year-old daughter returned home late last month with an uneaten lunch the mother had packed for the girl earlier that day. But she wasn’t mad because the daughter decided to go on a hunger strike. Instead, the reason the daughter didn‘t eat her lunch is because someone at the school determined the lunch wasn’t healthy enough and sent it back home.
Yes, you read that right.
The incident happened in Raeford, N.C. at West Hoke Elementary School. What was wrong with the lunch? That’s still a head-scratcher because it didn’t contain anything egregious: a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice. But for the inspector on hand that day, it didn’t meet the healthy requirements.
George Orwell is shaking his head and saying I warned you.
The intent is to instill the idea to the child that mommy and daddy aren’t really the ones responsible for their health and well being, but the State run school is. That’s the totalitarian idea being promoted here. You are a dependent of the State and therefore you are also a slave, a prisoner of the State. Treated as an enemy of the State, as a criminal who requires check-points, molesting pat downs, and constant monitoring because you are their responsiblity, and not your own family unit of a mother and father. This is Orwellian and pure evil. Get your kids out of there now!
A turkey and cheese sandwich is better than chicken nuggets.
