For an accurate non-inflammatory report on the event you may read Critics see gov't meddling in school lunch controversy - Peoria, IL - pjstar.com

This was a simple error by a single teacher who should have gotten the child a free carton of milk to supplement the meal her parents provided. End of story
Thanks for the clarification.
