Westford Students Told To Leave The Christmas Cookies At\u00a0Home<\/h1>\n

Here's a picture of the evil Christmas cookies, look but don't eat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

WESTFORD (CBS) \u2013 Westford school officials are getting tough on classroom\u00a0holiday\u00a0parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re banning sugary snacks and sweetened beverages from the celebrations this year.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"Students are being told to leave the\u00a0Christmas<\/a>\u00a0cookies, cakes, candy bars, and soda at home and to bring fruits, unsweetened juices, popcorn and raisins instead.<\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Superintendent Everett Olsen says the ban on\u00a0holiday<\/a>\u00a0sweets has nothing to do with being politically correct, rather, his motive is simply promoting a healthy lifestyle.<\/div>\n
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe aren\u2019t trying to take the Christmas out of Christmas. We\u2019re not trying to take the enjoyment out of children\u2019s lives. We\u2019re just trying to act responsible,\u201d he told WBZ NewsRadio 1030\u2019s Mike Macklin.<\/div>\n
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/span><\/div>\n
The school\u2019s goal is to avoid the types of sweets that pile on empty calories and contribute to childhood obesity.<\/div>\n
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/span><\/div>\n
School officials say they\u2019re also hoping to protect the growing number of children with severe food allergies.<\/div>\n
………………………………………………………………………………………………….<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"The new policy comes as schools across Massachusetts get set to implement stricter state-mandated food policies aimed at reducing child obesity.<\/div>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
