IN YOUR FACE GOVERNMENT STATISM: UK GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY ARE PARENTS OF YOUR CHILDREN, NOT YOU…….

 

Statism needs to be beaten back with a very large club.

This is what happens when you allow a runaway government more control over your lives, you cease being individual sovereigns, and become vassals of the state. There is no limit to government encroachment of your individual liberty, it shouts jump and you say how high.

Schoolboy Riley Pearson, six, has been suspended for four days for breaking school rules by having Mini Cheddars in his packed lunch

A six-year-old boy who went to school with a bag of Mini Cheddars in his packed lunch has been suspended for four days after teachers said it contravened its healthy eating policy.

Riley Pearson, from Colnbrook, near Slough, was excluded from Colnbrook C of E Primary School after teachers discovered the snack and called in his parents.

After a meeting with headmaster Jeremy Meek, they were sent a letter telling them Riley would be excluded from Wednesday until Monday because he had been ‘continuously breaking school rules’.

The school, which was placed in special measures after Ofsted inspectors deemed it ‘inadequate’ in 2012, introduced a healthy eating policy at the start of term.

A letter was sent to parents saying that from 14 January, packed lunches should be ‘healthy and balanced’.

Parents were told: ‘Chocolate, sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks are not allowed.

‘If your child’s lunchbox is unhealthy and unbalanced they will be provided with a school lunch for which you will be charged.’

Today Riley’s mother, airport shuttle worker Natalie Mardle, 24, said: ‘We just do not see how they have the right to tell us what we can feed our son.

‘If anything, Riley is underweight and could do with putting on a few pounds.’

  1. Every time I witness a story about the jack boot (certainly many residents of the UK and elsewhere can recall what jack boot means personally) of the state (or Kingdom or whatever) on the necks of our children, I am appalled. Thankfully we live in the USA (which is trying desperately to catch up to the demise of the UK) and were able to home school our children. They are now adults and we could not be happier with the outcome of those efforts. Whenever free men and women give their offspring up to the so-called state, unbridled problems ensue. I look at the outcome as produced in England (I used to be an Anglophile and traveled there several times on business – no longer, by choice) and my abject disappointment as to where the educational system has taken their nation is not an example of what I would like to see the USA follow.
