Reminds me of a pleasant Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. As he says, the parent's have failed so the state will fill the gap. Something's got to be done. For...the children.
UPDATE: House overturns school bake sale ban By Chris Cassidy Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - Updated 2 minutes ago
E-mail Print (0) Comments Text size Share State lawmakers overturned a controversial ban on school bake sales this afternoon after a fierce public outcry over school nutrition guidelines that also prohibited pizza, white bread and 2 percent milk.
“That is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in my career,” state Rep. Cory Atkins (D-Concord), moments after the House unanimously voted to ease the statewide cupcake crackdown. “Talk about hitting the nerve of government reaching far into people’s lives.”
State Rep. Brad Hill (R-Ipswich) offered the amendment, which leaves it up to local school committees whether to adopt the Department of Public Health rules, after hearing about an Ipswich school arts group that would have had to cancel bake-sale field trip fundraisers and fielding complaints from the local football Boosters concerned about their concession stands.
