Bryn Mawr, The Constitution, and Chocolate Milk

Behind a façade of individualism, Bryn Mawr, a college that prides itself on its diversity, is an unknowing participant of racism. Racism that is being carried out with one rather chocolaty weapon: chocolate milk.
Bryn Mawr, a school which values itself on its attempts at promoting racial and ethnic equality, a school which prides itself on diversity and acceptance is an unknowing participant in discrimination. Bryn Mawr is inadvertently discriminating against a small proportion of its population with one easily amendable problem: it does not serve chocolate milk in the large milk dispensing machines.
According to the case of The People of the State of New York v. Morris Marx it was decided that no object claiming to be a butter substitute can legally be sold in New York State. This ruling states that “no person shall manufacture out of any oleaginous substances, or any compound of the same, other than that produced from unadulterated milk or of cream from the same…”(Elkins 64). Seeing that milk qualifies as an oleaginous substance this law would prohibit the sale of chocolate milk. Chocolate, skim and both one and two percent milk would then all qualify as artificially created oleaginous substances, thus would be prohibited under this law. However it is clear that Bryn Mawr does not follow this ruling for three reasons: one, although one may with Pennsylvania is not New York; two, Bryn Mawr allows for the easy accessibility of one percent and skim milk which are both clearly artificially created: three, that this ruling was overturned since its inception in 1885.
Bryn Mawr may claim to be a “health conscious campus” a campus focused on promoting the general welfare of its occupants. It has a highly efficient athletics department, and a wide variety of health conscious food. However it is lacking the ready accessibility of chocolate milk. Haverford is also a healthy school directly related to Bryn Mawr; however Haverford has chosen to not discriminate against dairy products and to allow one easy access to chocolate milk. Why should a Bryn Mawr student have to take the blue bus to get chocolate milk, why are Bryn Mawr girls forced to dilute their hot chocolate in order to be fully fulfilled in their milk needs?
Milk has certain health improving qualities; it contains the valuable calcium and vitamin D that is necessary for healthy bone growth and all around nutrition. Chocolate milk contains both the overtly healthy milk component, but also chocolate: a bean that allows for the extra intake of vitamins into the body with each glass. Chocolate milk tastes better than normal milk and is different from ordinary milk. It is clear from this that there are not auspicious health reasons baring the food service personal from barring the accessibility of chocolate milk.
In fact by not allowing for Bryn Mawr students to be able to have easy access to milk with chocolate Bryn Mawr students are having their Fifth Amendment right of property denied. The Fifth Amendment clearly states that “no person shall be… deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law”. Did Bryn Mawr personnel ask their students if they would like the chocolate milk (which shall be considered as property) be denied to them? No. Why do Bryn Mawr students need two large machines filled with one percent and skim milk when Haverford has two milk machines with skim, one percent, and chocolate milk? There is no answer for this question but that Bryn Mawr should easily be able to insert a chocolate milk dispersing bag into the already acquired machines. Brown v. The Board of Education also states that separate but equal facilities are inherently unequal. The fact that chocolate milk is separated and not even included in the machines shows that they are being forced into separate facilities which thus infringe upon the rights of the chocolate milk drinkers. This is simply racism against chocolate milk, discrimination against artificial diary and something that is not allowed by the United States constitution.
Bryn Mawr is directly decimating against a small proportion of its student body: the chocolate milk drinkers. The discrimination of a select group of individuals is expressly denied by the US constitution. There is only one solution to this extremely important issue: give the Bryn Mawr students the chocolate milk for which the wonderful United States constitution allows. All one needs to end racism against the milk made with chocolate is allowing for the equal dispersion of all milk products.
