BREAKING: The State of Arizona Just Told Michelle Obama to Jump Off a Bridge
In our line of work, bringing you so many essential stories that revolve around the massive list of failures of the Obama administration which affect Americans in such profound ways, well, it can be overwhelming.
And then, every once in a while, we receive the pleasure of reporting news like this. News that grabs Obama’s grossly overreaching hand and shoves it right back in his liberal face.
Diane Douglas, Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction, recently told every single school district in the state of Arizona that they no longer have to abide by Michelle Obama’s federal “nutrition” mandates when it comes to fundraising activities.
“I have ordered effective immediately, that the ADE Health and Nutrition Services division grant exemptions for all fundraisers for both traditional public schools and charter public schools,” Douglas said in a statement.
She went on to explain how terribly inappropriate it was for the federal government to regulate school bake sales for fundraising events.
Can you imagine serving stuff like this at your school’s annual bake sale? Every school program that depends on fundraising would go unfunded if that were the case, as no one would show up.
“Forcing parents and other supporters of schools to only offer federally approved food and snacks at fundraisers is a perfect example of the overreach of government and intrusion into local control,” Douglas said.
And she’s exactly right. Not only is the Obama administration trying to take total control over education through Common Core curriculum, but also “food,” if you can call it that, through Michelle’s Smart Snacks in School program as well as White House pressure on the USDA to force the”healthy food” onto students.
Before Douglas took a state-level stand against the government, the Smart Snacks in School nutrition mandate also applied to most school fundraisers (H/T The New American).
We know for certain that the Founders would be pretty darn proud right now because what Douglas did is what every other state needs to do in order to begin the overdue process of pushing back against the long, slimy tentacles of government intrusion into seemingly every aspect of our lives.
Pressuring Congress to change and eliminate laws and mandates is good, but nullification is better — and that’s exactly what Douglas, the person at the top of the education food chain in her state, did.
We applaud and support her bold decision and hope other state administrators will follow suit.
Someone has to lead the way.
