Comment: Per #NEWS. These type of happenings have no encyclopedic value whatsoever

Comment: based upon the evidence presented by Squidfryerchef that there is discussion regarding this incident in at least one notable journal after-the-fact. The fact the incident also garnered international attention and brought up the issue of appropriate food in school can't be ignored as this may well be supported by other Wikipedia articles. If there are BLP issues they can be addressed in the article, although BLP does not come into play if an article is sourced by non-trivial references and contains correct information that was widely reported. I have to object, with respect, to Smerdis of Tlön's comparing of this article to longstanding events from decades ago. First, it's just a mirror of the  argument we aren't supposed to use, plus it's not fair to compare an incident like this which only happpened a few months ago to events that have gone into historical record over a period of decades and centuries

Comment: pe the policy #NEWS and the essay NEWS which preceded it. This incident got news coverage for 3 days the past march. This is an encyclopedia, not a weekly summary of water-cooler stories. There are similar idiotic cases of "Zero tolerance" every week in the U.S. This might find a home there as a selective merge to a section on examples cited by the media
