I’m not a comedy cop by any stretch. I’m just saying that when you value coming across as funny in a “let me make a dumb crack that takes this to an illogical extreme”, the result isn’t always so great. I’m just pointing this out. Please, by all means, carry on as you were.

“Maybe we should mandate food that can’t be weaponized?”

Two phrases epitomizing the school’s silliness stand out in this discussion: “Weaponized food” and “It’s a pastry”.

Never tried to eat with three toddlers armed with spoons and cream o’ wheat, have you, Scott?
