Subway. Oy.

Why are people so upset about the Subway contest? Honestly... I don't get it. Not everyone has to be included in everything. This is one of the things that bothered me the most about when Christian was in PS. If you have a birthday party you have to invite everyone. You can't cheer for your kids team at field day because the other team might not have people cheering for them and will feel bad. You can't send in home baked snacks because the other moms might not have the time to bake something and we can't have little Johnny or Suzy feeling badly that their mommy had to buy a snack. (I kid you not.)

The best comment I have heard so far is by Carla at PrairieFrog Blog

I think that as homeschoolers, we make the choice to be counter-culture. Why, then, do we expect culture to bend to us? I also think that we need to acknowledge the fact that the same freedoms that allow us to homeschool (legally) are those that allow Subway to offer whatever contest they want.
