Government Cracking Down On School Bake Sales

The Government Is Cracking Down on School Bake Sales

Waitafricking minuet.

BAKE SALES?

Look, feed the little ******* carrots for lunch but HANDS OFF THE BAKE SALES.

While I never had children I have occasionally indulged in guilt free recreational baking for those things. Its fun, it helps fund the schools, its voluntary, and it is not part of a school lunch healthy or otherwise.

I'm on an all chocolate chip cookie diet. I haven't lost any weight but that's not the point.

Pretty soon, the Government will be cracking down on your imagination!

As if they don't already

It's glossing over the fact that the foods sold at the bake sales don't meat the health requirements. The states "pushing back" is unconstitutional, and the proper way to handle it is to either change your fundraisers, or move them off site.

It didn't even post the part of the regulation that they were in violation of, not to mention properly quote, or attribute them. A very shitty article indeed.

I highly doubt it would bar an entire event, but just certain items on the list, but as the article went full retard, it's hard to determine, and I'm too lazy to look it up otherwise.

I've always considered the classification of "hate crimes" to border if not pass into the territory of thought crimes, but hey.

you can't have it both ways. once you let government take control of a part of your life, they go after the next piece.

incrementalism leads to total control. there is no such thing as too much government involvement once you decide it's the solution to your problems.

There shouldn't be a reason to go off site, if the people in both the school and the community want to sell stuff that is sugary, then let them. If it was sold during school hours then that's one thing, but in my area bake sales happen during off times.

The government intruding on the people's right to sell their foods to help better the education of their children (because congress is sure *** prioritizing education with some great funding) then that's their right to do so. Why is the government butt hurt over this?

But people don't have that right, is what you don't understand.

They have the right if the government is going to half *** their job and not supply the schools with better funding.

The fact that schools need bake sales for funding at all is *** horseshit of the highest level.

National level: Let's keep dumping billions into a jet that will never work!

State level (at least in good ol' P-A): let's keep giving tax breaks to mineral extractions jackholes who do nothing for state citizens but destroy nature...but we'll keep cutting education funding and then pretend it's the feds' fault for limiting schools' abilities to have bake sales!

They should just sell pot brownies kill two birds with one stone.

I SO understand this.

"It will be a great day when schools are fully funded and the Air Force has to hold bake sales to buy a bomber" - '70s T shirt slogan.

Here's an idea: cut back on shitty administrators that don't really need to be there in the first place, my school (which was small mind you) had at least 3 principles( or I at least can only remember 3) which is way more than needed for a school that was that small.

But I digress, it still isn't their right, they still have to follow the regulation.

edit: don't get me wrong, I'm not convinced the regulation was worded well, but as seeing as we have yet to see it from the OP, we can only guess.

What tax breaks?

The most impartial view I can find with limited searching

Corbett is about as trustworthy as a the scorpion on the frog's back in the middle of a river.

The fact that the only people saying that the impact fees are corporate taxes are adequate and beneficial are the people paying those fees and taxes should speak volumes, though.

Isn't Corbett on his way out? Last I saw he was behind in the polls by double digits.

Probably. However Tom Wolf -- his likely successor -- appears to be poised to carry on the fine party-independant Pennsylvania governor tradition of being against unions and workers and pro-corporation.

He's sort of ambiguous at this point. He doesn't seem like he'll be as bad as Rendell or Corbett, but to do that he'd actually have to intentionally tank.

I don't trust him as governor. I'll tell you that. I hope I'm wrong.
