We can do bake sales for the PTO, but we can’t bake cupcakes for our children’s birthdays. For those we have to provide store bought. What a crock.

My kids’ elementary school has already banned bake sales. Or rather, they have the sale, but you can’t bake anything for it. Instead of, say, baking choc chip cookies, they make you buy a factory manufactured brand-name package of choc chip cookies. Then right before the sale, the volunteers staffing the sale will break open the packages and put X cookies in little baggies to sell. The claim is that the prewrapped stuff is “safer.” As though no bad guys could adulterate food that was once inside a package.

Didn’t the proponents of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Hubert Humphrey to name but one, say it wouldn’t be used to give preferences in hiring and promotions (Affirmative Action)? How did that work out?

Well, golly, if they say they’re not going to use the power, or don’t mean to, what’s the harm– right?

Right.
Now we need to ban thinking about unhealthy topics.

With the ban on bake sales and the recent outlawing of animal cruelty videos, we are well on our way to righting our faltering ship.
