Can we trust a U.S. DOE that approves of feeding our children Pink Slime?

Something is wrong with a DOE
who approves of feeding our children Pink slime!

How much money are you willing to bet that no one's children at the United States Department of Education will be eating any Public School Pink Slime burgers, or tacos?

Something is telling me that Arne Duncan's children won't be eating that ammonia-treated meat.  Something is very wrong with buying meat by products that were rejected by McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Burger King, and approving it for public school school lunches. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is purchasing 7 MILLION TONS for school lunches. 

Where is the outcry from Secretary of Education Duncan? 

Where is the outrage from a First Lady who wants to help end childhood obesity?

Where is the outrage from the American Medical Association? 

Something is very wrong in a Washington DC that feeds our children this stuff. 

Just what is this pink slime they are going to feed America's school children anyway? It is officially known as "Lean Beef Trimmings," a product made from ground-up combination of beef scraps, cow connective tissues and other beef trimmings that are treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill pathogens like salmonella and E. coli. 

It gets all blended into regular meat products like ground beef and hamburger patties.

This is the problem when we turn children into test scores. We dehumanized them. Our schools are for sale, and so are our children. The United States Department of Education under Race To The Top is working with private venture partners to capitalize on the 58 million children that go to public schools in America. There is a for sale sign on our public schools, our children, our parents, and our teachers. 

It is time to occupy the DOE in DC.  Please call the First Lady this surely can't be part of the plan to fight childhood obesity? Secretary Status quo Duncan the Walking Man is coming to occupy the DOE house of shame in DC this March 30, 31, and April 1 & 2.

Silence and apathy are not acceptable when it comes to our children.

Ready to Occupy,

We Are The Many
Lyrics & Music by MakanaMakana Music LLC © 2011

Ye come here, gather ’round the stage

The time has come for us to voice our rage Against the ones who’ve trapped us in a cage To steal from us the value of our wage

From underneath the vestiture of law

The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw And until they are purged, we won’t withdraw

We’ll occupy the streets

We’ll occupy the courts We’ll occupy the offices of you Till you do The bidding of the many, not the few

Our nation was built upon the right

Of every person to improve their plight But laws of this Republic they rewrite And now a few own everything in sight

They own it free of liability

They own, but they are not like you and me Their influence dictates legality And until they are stopped we are not free

We’ll occupy the streets

We’ll occupy the courts We’ll occupy the offices of you Till you do The bidding of the many, not the few

You enforce your monopolies with guns

While sacrificing our daughters and sons But certain things belong to everyone Your thievery has left the people none

So take heed of our notice to redress

We have little to lose, we must confess Your empty words do leave us unimpressed A growing number join us in protest

We occupy the streets

We occupy the courts We occupy the offices of you Till you do The bidding of the many, not the few

You can’t divide us into sides

And from our gaze, you cannot hide Denial serves to amplify And our allegiance you can’t buy

Our government is not for sale

The banks do not deserve a bail We will not reward those who fail We will not move till we prevail

We’ll occupy the streets

We’ll occupy the courts We’ll occupy the offices of you Till you do The bidding of the many, not the few

We’ll occupy the streets

We’ll occupy the courts We’ll occupy the offices of you Till you do The bidding of the many, not the few

We are the many

You are the few
