No treats at school on Valentine's Day?

A school near Boston has asked parents to refrain from sending treats to school on Valentine's Day. Today on Fox News, I debated Dr. Keith Ablowabout whether this was a necessary restriction. I think children should be allowed to enjoy their holiday celebrations--my kids love planning the fun gifts and treats they'll bring for their friends. Of COURSE we set limits and teach them how to exercise self-control and moderation. I tried to keep the debate clean and on-topic. I'll let you be the judge of whether my opponent afforded me the same respect. p.s. did you know "Mommy Blogger" is a dirty word? :)
