People are angry because people are complaining about government taking away a 40 year tradition.
Sounds to me like you're saying that pink cookies are an entitlement.
Isn't that what you are saying?

I think home schooling is an excellent solution to any problem one might have with the schools, and all puns aside tip of the hat to you for that.
I also kind of get the tradition argument- really- because I'm quite unreasonably supportive of my old high school mascot, the Rajahs, and even our bitter rivals, the Arabs.
That being said there are some American traditions that need to change- like poorly supervised schools and juvenile diabetes.

I wish schools would concentrate on reading, writing, arithmetic, history, instead of diet. I also believe that since many schools have removed PE, the problems have gotten worse. Have the kids run for 45 minutes and what they have for lunch becomes a moot point.

Why does the school need to have something that is terrible on there menu, if kids need that kind of food the parents should pay for it at home, its a bad choice and most parents even here in canada dont understand the affects of that much sugar and calories on kids that dont play outside anymore.
School used to be about educating people, now its just a place for kids to hang out while mom and dad slave away to afford stuff we dont even need.
