    In the culinary world it is a vegetable. In the botany world it is a fruit.

    Same with eggplant.

    There is no such thing as limited freedom of speech.

    Can you provide a link to these alleged "federal rules"? No, well your link can't either and is therefore destined to be ignored for the specious tripe that it is.

    here's a better link..... it was cited in my piece.... but you were already trying to dismiss the claim, as opposed to read it....

    Here's a link...

    http://www.williamsondailynews.com/news/home_top-news/153790868/Candy-reward-causes-backlash


    Here's the entire article, and I even highlighted the important stuff you would purposely 'not see'

    so, like I said in the OP.... it's the carrot dangling by the federal programs in order to get the states to do what they want them to do.


    "here's a bunch of money for your monetarily strapped school district... the only stipulation to get it is you must develop a policy we approve of. If you fail to follow it, we will pull that funding and make you pay back what we already gave you...."

    so just to clarify....

    state policy, based on federal rules where money is the incentive for state compliance
