"Ellis said failing to adhere to the state’s guidelines could put federal funding in jeopardy." What on earth does adhering to a STATE policy have to do with FEDERAL funding? The local school systems need to get the feds out of it. Period. I enjoy, for moment anyway, complete autonomy in how I educate my children. I don't answer to anyone. That is the freedom you get when you don't take money from those who want to control what and how you teach.

When I was in school Jolly Ranchers and Now 'n Laters were considered legal tender.

They always had big buckets of those and Red Vines.
