this kind of reminds me of how sex education was taken out of the parents hands because many thought parents didnt do a good enough job,,,,, did wonders towards decreasing sexual promiscuity and activity amongst kids and the correlating stds,,,,,,(thats sarcasm)


I wonder where this will lead...

i read that yesterday... made me sic... but IMO, it's for monetary purposes more than anything else, no matter what they say

Do not get me wrong Parents should be the 1st to talk to their kids about sex. Lets face it though not all children have the best up bringing. So what you do about those kids give the school some cred for trying to make the young men and women of this generation that where cast away gain some type of sexual intelligence.

If your a good parent you know your kid will listen to you anyways but their is still some knowledge to be gained in these classes. No more lazy parenting just ask what your kid did in school today and give them the real world knowledge of what they learned. This in turn might make them smarter than you

Last year's Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, calls for higher nutritional standards to serve the 32 million kids who eat lunch every day at school.

Don't like the idea?

Call Mistress Michell and tell her to butt out!

I am pretty pro parent in terms of school being for ACADEMIA and parents being given the option of how , when, and why to teach their children about sex and relationships , as well as to decide how and when they are going to feed them,,,,

Michele has nothing to do with a MANDATE that children eat only what the school gives them,,,,


its worlds away from mandating schools to OFFER a healthier menu

Its a private school right? I am sure private schools can do what they want. If its a public school I wouldnt think they couldnt do that.

They put that in the article.
It's Michell's anti-fat-kid program at work.

Next thing ya' know, they'll measure Michell's butt and put up in restaurants a set of bars spaced just a tad bit bigger than her asss. With a sign saying," If you are wider than this, you are too fat to eat here."

the article refers to 'Chicago's Little Village Academy public school '

oh, if someones put their opinion in an article, it must have mutated into fact ,,,,,,

It is almost a crying shame how much soda and junk kids eat today and the reason for so many hyperactive and A.D.D. kids. The schools should offer good lunches and for free if they want to encourage kids to eat there.

But to mandate they can't take lunches to school and tell them they have to pay for lunch is just wrong. I hope the parents flat refuse.
