L.A. SCHOOL BOARD TO VOTE ON BANNING SODA SALES
The Los Angeles Unified School District will vote on Tuesday to ban the sale of soda at all 677 school campuses. THIS ARTICLE fails to mention how the soda ban will improve math, reading, and writing skills already at embarrassingly low levels in L.A. schools. The school board claims banning soda sales will help combat childhood obesity. There is no word yet whether the school board will stop encouraging the banning of sports and physical activity, like dodgeball and tag, that have a tendency to “hurt feelings” and “lower self-esteem” now that the school board has determined obesity is the public schools’ problem.

You can add soda bans to the long list of non-educational matters that public schools think is their business. Pull your children out of public schools and demand a tax refund for the educational services you are not receiving.
