From The Chicago Tribune: The Breakfast in the Classroom program in Chicago's public schools has found a new critic: District CEO Jean-Claude Brizard, who has questioned some menu items and directed staff to remove syrup and sweets next year.

Parents also said their wishes to opt kids out were not being honored.
