Senate President Donald Williams (D-Danielson) and Education Commissioner Betty Sternberg today announced a deal that will ban soda and other sugar drinks from public schools.
This is an extension of a bill that was vetoed last year. The big changes seem to be dropping a proposed ban on snack foods, a proposed requirement of mandatory exercise during the school day, and some funding items.
You know, back in my day in Memphis, the only place you could buy a Coke on campus was in the faculty lounge. I’m kind of amazed that these Yankees ever allowed vending machines on campus.
