4th Graders Stage Protest to Bring Chocolate Milk Back to Their Lunch Menu
When the Beastie Boys once proudly sang the iconic words, “You gotta fight for your right — TO PARTY!” the energy resonated with the youth of that generation. Now it can be said that that message’s ripple effect touched the youth of today, as you can make the case that chocolate milk would be a worthy equivalent to partying it up — for 4th graders, at least.
As reported by ABC 7 Los Angeles, Students at Sierra Vista K-8 school in Vacaville, California walked out on classes in response to chocolate milk being pulled from the school’s lunch menu.
“What do we want?! CHOCOLATE MILK! When do we want it?! NOW!” Such were the fervent and vociferous chants by the children unhappy with the move. School administrators reasoned that chocolate milk has too much sugar, but understandably the kids weren’t having it.
As a result of the peaceful but staunch protest, a compromise was made and chocolate milk will be making a return to Sierra Vista’s menu one day every other week.
Suck that through a straw, chocolate milk haters!
