No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Wasn't the child suspended for repeatedly breaking school rules rather than just having minichedders?
If you keep breaking rules you will be suspended, this is not unusual or new is it?Comment

In my mind the issue is more that the child was punished.
At his age it is extremely likely that it is his parents who are packing his lunch and ignoring the repeated requests / warnings over the contents. To exclude the child and mess up his learning seems wrong - I'd understand more if they decided to fine the parents or something.Comment

Promoting healthy eating - and pushing it strongly - is one thing. Making it a school rule that you're not allowed a snack seems ludicrous. The school should be able to do what they want in the food they provide though.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

My daughter's school does not allow sweets etc. in lunchboxes or for snacks. I think it is a good thing. Otherwise some parents will put in whatever is easiest to hand so sweets, cakes and other treats will be put in because it keeps the peace and is easy and cheap.
Ignoring the health issues, the sugar high kids then disrupt the class for everyone.
More and more children would then want to bring in packed lunch rather than have a school dinner because they can have cakes etc. then so the problem spirals.
Refusing this lazy get out causes the parents to think about healthy eating and gets them and their children into the habit of eating well which will help them for life.
So the benefits are a less disrupted classes so the education is more effective, healthier children which become healthier adults.
However, once these rules are in place they become rules so disobeying them will be treated the same way as disobeying any other rule.
The parents would have been told about these policies and are free to remove their child from the school if they object that strongly.Comment
