There are no health department inspections. Why be blamed, rightly or wrongly, if students become ill. <BR/><BR/>Second, there is the issue of childhood obesity, a major issue in the news lately. Teachers should not be pushing non-nutritive foods that are fattening and unhealthy. What lesson is this teaching students? <BR/><BR/>How effective are health classes taught by hyprocrites? Why is it o.k. for teachers to sell junk<BR/>food for their own personal gain? <BR/><BR/>You failed to discuss either of these issues in your column. <BR/><BR/>Elinor SteinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-1161091872129973772006-10-17T09:31:00.000-04:002006-10-17T09:31:00.000-04:00Dear Mr. Seglin, Bravo to G.S. for taking the mora...Dear Mr. Seglin,<BR/> <BR/>Bravo to G.S. for taking the moral high-ground over the social chairwoman's choices. With all these recent distractions, it is easy to overlook the most unethical behavior, which was only mentioned, in passing. The fact that this social committee is funded by the teachers extorting monies from their students, via bake sales, is a more serious ethical breach.<BR/> <BR/>Jim Webber<BR/>Yorba Linda, CA<BR/>Reader of The Orange County Register<BR/> <BR/>P.S.
