"Now reasonable people are left to wonder what is an appropriate lesson for preschool children, what is an appropriate level of parental involvement."

One thing we can all agree on is this child will no doubt become a raging alcoholic by the 8th grade now that the stupid school has supplied him and the other children with a gateway mug.

I am a parent and I vote "big effin deal".

Calmamity: More like heffercoptor.

Well done.

In Germany it probably would have actually had beer in it.

It's too small for a beer stein, but looks perfect for a shot glass.

Mom needs to chill the fark out. Huzaa to the Principal for standing up to her.

Beer trifecta complete.

WaltzingMathilda: We should also stop serving root beer floats in mugs. See, the drink has the word "beer" in it, and it's served in a glass that is also used for beer. As we all know, every single child born in the 50s grew up to be an alcoholic.



My first beer addiction.

Is that the mom or the cross dressing dad in the photo?

The woman should get bent. If the kid ends up a raging alcoholic it isn't going to trace back some cheap plastic beer stein he'll break or lose within the month anyways.

guarantee without beer this woman would have never conceived the kid in the first place

"We understand your concern, but don't feel this crossing any lines. Children don't become pre-teen drinkers because they got miniature plastic beer stein at age 4 to drink apple juice from. Thank you, and go away."

And I love the quote "I cannot be the only person who thinks this is wrong". No, you're not. There are many other parents that have quick triggers and protection complexes that activate when a school does something minor that doesn't perfectly mesh with your views. That doesn't make them correct, just united in their issues.

Oh STFU you fat slob, it's also a mug for soda and root beer floats.

Heffer Mom: "Well, I'll just pull my child out of the preschool program!"

School: "You sure?"

Heffer Mom: "Yes I'm sure, it's the only way you will learn a lesson!"

School: "OK, well we'll just call the next person on the waiting list to get their child into our program."

Heffer Mom: "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS!!!"

School:: "Yes"

Heffer Mom: "Guess I'll call the local newspaper"

Braden. That is all.

She's gonna freak the fark out when she discovers the A&W drive thru. You can still get candy cigars too.

Think of all the butter she can warm and drink out of that little stein.

Made me think of this:

"Learning about Cuba and having some food"

The principal of the Children's House in Bridgetown told her the stein was part of a January lesson about countries around the world. That day's lesson had been about Germany. There was an accordion player in lederhosen and apple juice in beer steins to replicate Bavaria.

Is that Germany before or after the Beer Hall Putsch?

For the love of whatever is technically holy... This is why we can't have nice things Cincinnati.

Can we get an Ohio tag now?

Yes, Cincinnati is full of prudish retards like this woman.

It's a toothpick holder you dumb ass.

Hey fat biatch, how about you get your lard ass off the couch and start teaching your kid some important life lessons about health and physical fitness before you start preaching to the school about the cup your precious crotch fruit drank his applejuice out of.

My first beer addiction.

Ooo. Someone's all fancy. I only got Mug rootbeer.

What is wrong with the world these days? Just the other day my child got a straw in his Happy Meal. A STRAW!!! Can you believe that? There I was, having to explain to my seven year old how these things are used by drug addicts to snort cocaine and heroin up their noses. He was very upset. I don't know if he'll ever be able to eat another Happy Meal without crying.

:-(

Wait until they get to Gay Pride Month at the new preschool the kid is at. They'll serve the apple juice in a urinalysis bottle.

Calmamity: She only got bent out of shape because the principal didn't immediately kiss her ass and offer to fire the teacher.

And we're done. That's the real problem - not that her snowflake received a tiny plastic cup filled with apple juice, but that as a result of her ridiculous outrage, the school wasn't burned to the ground and her ass wasn't kissed while she watched the conflagration.

Even MADD wouldn't come out and condemn the school, that's how you know your complaint has exactly 0 merit

Krymson Tyde: gateway mug.

Win.

I hope someone didn't tell this woman that kids in Germany (and many other sochulzt European countries) begin "drinking" at a very young age.

Yes. Because that's the ONLY thing you're allowed to drink out of it, and it totally wasn't just the prevalent conveyance for any potable liquids in a general region that simply happens to have a storied tradition of brewed, fermented beverages.

Also: not a stein.

What a coont.

foo monkey: Braden. That is all.

Yep. I never thought I was affected by names until I worked at a public school for four years. Now if I hear a Mom call their child anything that ends in "aden/ayden/aiden" I purposely get as far from them as possible. We had one 'lovely' 19 year old mother at that school with an Aiiden, a Kaiden and a Shayden (girl). I cannot even begin to describe those childrens behavior or her parenting skills.

Needs a mini keg

Obviously, the (idiot) mom has never been in Huntington, WV.



/4 oz root beer mugs for the kiddies!
//And seriously - lady, "Vas you ever in Zinzinnati" much?

stushniken: guarantee without beer this woman would have never conceived the kid in the first place

Beat me to the punch. Or the beer. Or the bottle of MadDog necessary to hit that.

So, is there an age limit for sponsoring the kid for TF?

And this ^.

Maybe his TF handle could be 'The Littlest Farker'...

HAHA, na, didn't start drinking the stuff till I was a teenager with a job, but yet I thought I was all cool for it. Man was I lame..

Who'd she get to fark her in the first place?

She's a farking whale but has not tits, no wonder she's upset at the school/world. Where's the dad? Ohhh, I thought so.

Get bent lady

If her religion does not condone drinking then I can see being miffed, but that's when you accept that you put your child into a secular program and move on or enroll them in a daycare that promotes your faith's beliefs. I have a feeling this woman was just being super uptight about nothing in particular though.

My first beer addiction.

CSB time: I actually got my wife pulled over by a Sharonville OH (a suburb of Cincinnati) for, while riding in the passenger seat, enjoying an IBC Root Beer. Was taking a swig when we passed a cop driving the other direction. He did a U-turn, flipped his lights, and pulled us over...guy did a complete vehicle search for "open containers - I SAW you drinking a beer!" even after I showed him the bottle and passed a breathalyzer. Luckily, Mrs. FightDirector had been doing well under the speed limit (she's an incredibly shiatty driver), and thus we got out without a ticket. The cop seemed fairly annoyed he wasn't going to get a free DUI conviction.

Quote of the traffic stop: "No, drinking root beer isn't illegal...but as long as it looks like that it should be. When did they start packaging root beer so that it looks like a beer bottle?"

My uncle had his daughter / my cousin trained at 3 years old to fetch beers from the cooler when we were outside for cookouts at their place. She knew the difference between her dad's beer and her uncles beer. It was adorable.

She is not an alcoholic nor has ever served beer in any sort of capacity.

Kid will be fine, mom needs to relax.

Oh, I never like to say this, but she looks like a narrow minded twit.

BigBooper: It's too small for a beer stein, but looks perfect for a shot glass.

Or maybe they should have just busted out the 7-ouncers...

milowitz: She's a farking whale but has not tits, no wonder she's upset at the school/world. Where's the dad? Ohhh, I thought so.

Get bent lady

Well, she did have them, they just fell into her stomach when she tried to get out of bed for the photo shoot.

That's probably about just the right amount of barley wine for a 4-year old.
