Slushy Discrimination
Dear Editor:
I am the mother of a 5 year old little girl who is a kindergartner at H.B. Williams Elementary. She is a VERY picky eater with some allergy issues. I have to pack her lunch everyday. I am careful to give her a well balanced lunch. I deposit money into a snack account for her at school so she can get snacks or eat lunch at school if she desires. She came home from school this week very excited because the school has a new “slushy” machine and asked if she could get one. I said “of course” and explained that she had money in her account. My child came home from school and said she was not allowed to get a Slushy since she did not buy lunch from school, she can have ice cream, etc… but no Slushy which is 100 per cent juice and I am told very healthy.
