They're the future of our country and society, and legally required to be there, but we won't feed them.
'cause 'merica you fucking commie.
There are other countries where kids bring their own lunch. We always make sandwiches and a snack for our kids to bring to school.
I do think school-provided lunches are a great idea and if done right, would guarantee every kid equal access to healthy nutrition. Unfortunately we don't have that in NL, and clearly the powers that be don't want it in the US either.
But punishing kids for lunch debt is nuts. That's absolutely a symptom of the US wanting everybody to live in debt.
Wasn't it last year schools were throwing kid's bagged lunches away? So then they force the kids to eat a school lunch or starve, then blame the parents. This is just the next illogical step of the grift.
Throwing kids' lunch away should be illegal. What if s kid has special dietary requirements? But if a school does throw it away, they have an obligation to provide a free lunch that's at least as good.
It should be illegal to throw someone else's property away without their permission, right? I mean, it's basically theft.
