UPDATED: School leader mocks Michelle O’s bake sale restrictions: We can’t fundraise ‘selling carrot sticks’

Vote Democrat to get more of this:

Education Action Group Foundation  "NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State Board of Education has passed sweeping new restrictions on student bake sales in order to be compliant with federal rules on school snacks, and a lot of people are unhappy about it.


"In order to comply with the Michelle Obama-inspired regulations, Tennessee schools will only be allowed to have bake sales 30 days per school year.

"State Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman said it was “quite remarkable” that food fundraisers would be regulated by how many days they can be held, noting that this will prevent high school sports teams from holding weekly food fundraisers, according to The Tennessean.

"Others were more direct in their criticism.

“ 'It’s unbelievable to me the amount of guidelines that are there,” state Board of Education Chairman Fielding Rolston said, according to the newspaper."

Perhaps the Obama's will simply choose not to enforce the law. Naaaa.
