This may have involved Perdue chicken nuggets. Perdue done it! Her Secretary of Commerce is Keith Crisco who tried to save a Siler City chicken processing plant owned by a Ukrainian billionaire. Coincidence? “Just heat ‘em up, and eat ‘em up!” No facts required. Ketchup, Polynesian sauce, or honey mustard?

You know what happened and what is told and retold do not equal. No one is mentioning what this is doing to this poor child and how unsettling this must be to her as as she continues her daily routine. I watched the interview with the principal. I saw no concern for the chjild only to cover his but and that of the school.

Can’t be healthy.

And the state didn’t order the additional food. It was just an overreaction by a teacher while inspectors were in the building.

I did not say that the pre-school teacher didn’t make a mistake. Obviously, if this is really what happened, it was a very silly — almost comical — blunder. The point is that it was just that — a well-intended and modest error and not evidence of some diabolical plot as so many in the right-wing echo chamber are claiming.

Wow what a nutritious meal. What do you think a kids going to eat Turkey sandwich(nutritious) or chicken nuggetts(junk)? You people are idiots.

The school allegedly just gave the kid some extra lunch for free.
