Students Need Permission To Eat Oreos

Just in case you didn't think our society was a little too overprotective as is, let's send home permission slips to eat ONE Oreo!

Yes, you read that right, at a middle school in Pennsylvania, a science teacher wanted to prove his scientific point using double stuff Oreos. Brilliant move by the teach, but in this hyper sensitive society we currently live in, he decided he better cook up a lengthy permission slip for parents to sign. No word yet on if there's an additional slip for a glass of milk.

Check out the actual permission slip here, tweeted out by one of the mothers that received it.

HOT TAKE: I'm bothered by the idea that the kids needed permission to eat one single stupid double stuff Oreo. It's not like Mister Wizard was letting his whole classroom crush an entire sleeve of these things. I remember bringing home permission slips so i can spend a day at dangerous places like construction sites or sewage treatment plants. Now, the worst offense going on is that your carrot and celery kid might actually get to taste the delicious cookie treat known as an Oreo. 'Merica! --JD
