America’s Children Are Hungry – and they’re blaming Michelle Obama’s school lunch menu
America’s children are starving as a result of the controversial mandated National school lunch policy, which is the brain child of the first lady Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Obama is fighting obesity by forcing children to subsist on vegetables, fruit, whole grains and nuts.
But a group of students are protesting what they see as forced starvation diets. They say they are hungry and they’re not taking the school lunch policy sitting down.
In a video uploaded to YouTube.com, hungry students faint from lack of energy after eating the 750-850 calories that Mrs. Obama’s school lunches provide.
The children argue that the low calories are not enough to meet the physical needs of growing teenagers.
Oprah Winfrey made the cover of Forbes – Jay Z did not
Rapper Jay Z is somewhere steaming over the fact that failing media honcho Oprah made the cover of Forbes‘ $126 Billion cover — and he didn’t.
Winfrey, 58, shares the Forbes “$126 Billion” cover with Jay Z’s good pal billionaire investor Warren Buffet, 82, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 56. Jay Z, who is not quite billionaire status — shared the Forbes cover of the “400 Richest People in the World” with Buffet in 2010. Jigga, 43, has not been on the cover since.
fanMAIL: Pregnant teens in high school
Quite a few of my loyal readers agreed with my opinion that pregnant teenagers should be removed from their schools and sent to an alternative program that focuses on parenting and childbirth.
Once a teenager becomes pregnant, she becomes a woman with different responsibilities and goals. These teens should not be allowed to distract good girls from receiving a quality education. When the courts and school systems allow pregnant teens in classrooms the implicit message is that teen pregnancy is okay, and even desirable.

ACLU targets school that threatens to expel pregnant students
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is going after a Louisiana public charter school that targets pregnant teenagers.
Delhi Charter School’s “Student Pregnancy Policy” states that if a girl refuses to take a pregnancy test — or turns up in class pregnant, she can be removed from class and sent home.
The ACLU claims the school’s policy violates the U.S. Constitution and federal laws against sexual discrimination.
ACLU executive director Marjorie R. Esman said the policy violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause because “boys who are expecting children — or who are suspected of having engaged in sexual activity — are not similarly treated.”
Sports: Paterno Statue comes down; NCAA strips Penn State wins, imposes stiff penalties
Critics and child advocates called for the NCAA to levy the so-called “death penalty” on Penn State. But just moments ago, NCAA president Mark Emmert hit Penn State with a $60 million fine and a 4-year suspension during a press conference.
Saying Penn State was too big to fail, Emmert spared Penn State the dreaded “death penalty.” Instead, he stripped the school of its football wins from 1998 through 2011 — which places Joe Paterno behind football legends Eddie Robinson and Bear Bryant as the most winningest coaches in football history.
In addition to losing 1 year in football revenues, the NCAA also imposed a 4-year bowl ban on Penn State. The NCAA will allow Penn State football players to transfer to other schools where they will be eligible to play immediately.
The announcement came one day after demolition crews tore down the Joe Paterno statue on the Penn State campus. Paterno, who died in January, is accused of turning a blind eye toward the child molestation charges lodged against his former coach Jerry Sandusky.

Former NFL great Warren Sapp added his voice to the protests, suggesting that the university remove the statue honoring Paterno from the campus.
Florida HS basketball coach accused of having sex with her players
A former high school and collegiate basketball star-turned-coach was arrested and charged with having sex with the girls she coaches.
Marquita Adley (pictured), was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with three counts of sexual battery by a custodian on a victim under 18 years of age.
Adley was released on $15,000 bond after spending the night in jail. The West Broward High School girls basketball interim coach is accused of fondling a 16-year-old girl and committing other sex acts on her between April and June at the girl’s house, a teammate’s house and during a road trip.
The girl told police that she engaged in consensual sex with the coach. She said that she did not ask Adley to stop or push her away. But in Florida a 16-year-old can’t consent to sex with an adult.
