Now that their gas stoves are safe, Republicans want a national law forcing schools to provide kids with chocolate milk.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is leading the charge to protect chocolate milk:
Mayor Adams’ threat to ban chocolate milk in schools is a non-starter.

Stefanik has even proposed legislation to mandate that all schools be forced to offer chocolate milk to students:

These are the issues that House Republican leadership is preoccupied with. They don’t care that Donald Trump allowed the Chinese to spy from the sky at will against the United States.

If Republicans were truly a party of limited government and individual freedom, they would allow schools, school boards, and local communities to decide if they want to provide chocolate milk to students.
A big government mandate forcing schools to provide chocolate milk to kids is not conservative at all.
The current House majority doesn’t want to talk about or deal with the real issues and problems facing the country. Instead, they would rather constantly try to scare their voters about liberals coming to take things away from them.
The problem is that the objects under threat keep getting sillier and more inconsequential. The GOP is a party that is only interested in motivating through fear.
The nation needs real solutions to its problems, but a top House Republican is worried about chocolate milk.
