liberals don't "own" anything in Utah.
Do they "own" anything in New Jersey, Commander?
A New Jersey mother says her fifth grade son’s school has repeatedly taken her child’s lunch and thrown it away over unpaid cafeteria balances -- despite having apologized for doing as much in the past.
“This to me is a form of bullying," Amy Ross told NBC 10 after the latest incident, earlier in January, involving her 10-year-old son, Jake, who has a form of autism called Asperger’s Syndrome, and officials at Smithville Elementary School in Galloway Township, N.J. “It’s between the parents and the cafeteria. It’s not between the child and the lunch lady. Let the kids eat their lunch."
Ross’s questioning of the school comes the same week the Salt Lake School District in Utah made headlines for doing the same thing.
Ross told NBC 10 the Galloway district has taken her son's lunch numerous times since third grade, and a principal even apologized for doing so last year.
She conceded she had allowed her son’s lunch account to become delinquent, but attributed the situation to her son’s occasional failure to relay notes and messages on the issue sent home from the school.
The district’s superintendent -- Dr. Annette Giaquinto -- reportedly said her schools have a similar cheese sandwich policy as the district in Austin and added, “Depending on the situation, the child is pulled to the side, spoken to very calmly, and everything is done to both follow the policy but also to respect the child."
Then asked by NBC 10 whether she condoned the practice, Giaquinto replied: “Well, I believe there are certain times when I think you need to take certain measures and again, I know that sounds cold...is it a practice I love? No."
