Instead of addressing the ‘misinformation’ they claim the nine year-old girl was spreading, the school simply bans photography of school meals.

How is this, in any way, an appropriate response to any situation much less one involving children? 

And the worst part is that it should be a call to arms for everyone to start pictures of the food and posting it online. But, as the council knows full well, that’s impossible because it’s not adults they are bullying but children. Children who cannot fight back and don’t have the power or options to defy this ridiculous order.

Photography is not a crime. Particularly when it exposes and embarrasses those in power.
