Go back to the long-ago selling soft drink ads on school athletic field fences -- promoting corporate products, to help finance the sports mania that now permeates all school districts. Then, how long since vending machines were also permitted. And, leaving school grounds to go to fast-food places. Not to mention changing school "campuses" to central locations so that few, if any students could walk to school. Go back to schools for education, not for social agendas, over-booked non-education/education involvements. Unravel the trail before it's made more complicated by outside agendas, outside involvements. Don't add to the already overloaded non-education education focus which dominates not only school time, but school costs.
