I grew up in a single parent household with two siblings. My mother worked all the hours she could get, and some days, the only real meal we ate were the free school lunches we were entitled to. Many kids live in the same situation today, and to deny them food is just cruel. It breaks my heart.
I ate government cheese as greedy asshat billionaires loved to lay people off especially at holiday time. Starting to see that happening again and yet these same people voted for the hatred of the MAGATs.
Sometimes the free school lunch was my only meal of the day. Weekends were bad but weekends at the end of the month were especially bad. Some family members complain about people receiving help & I ask them if they were that ashamed of my mom, then they crawdad
There's no longer separation between church and state.
This is terrible. I'm Catholic and do not believe in the Bible. Only priests would read from it.
Then we must create non profit entuities to provide JUST that in our hoods across the country so families that need it can get it…and our kids get their lessons as old folks say.
cuz as long as an administration would rather indoctrinate your kids than nourish their minds and bodies, WE all we got.
You sure got that right. Sad to think kids are hungry and at lunch in school, watching others eat while they are hungry with no money. The greed in this country sucks & it is being done by the rich.
No Andrew Half of America is not better than this. They do not care about a hungry child in school, they do not care about a criminal president, they do not care about anyone but themselves. America has failed big time, only thing that held America together was us, the good guys. May be over. #news
I know it is not over, but let's face it. Good does not always win, look at Russia, Look at North Korea and many other places. When you got half the country supporting the liar & criminal, you got a problem. #news #trumpiscriminal Country will crash in a yr. Will we be in time to save?
Horrible. Republicans would rather let a child starve. This is one of the reasons for child crime, kids are starving. Now we lost it all. Trump will not only not give us the things we need, he will take away for the rich. No child care, no school lunches. NYC will be OK, but red states? NOPE! #news
They would rather kill them than feed them. They don't like the diverse generation growing up, so why not create their own generation? nazi garbage all over again. Rewrite history by killing all the historians that’ll stand against you. 🤷😡
I am pretty sure crime (and health) would be much worse in Sweden if they cut free (and healthy) meals for all kids in school. And undoubtedly kids listen/follow instructions and learn better when they are properly nourished.
One reason so many grown-ups seem irrationally upset about free school lunch is that they know this fact. Poor kids doing more poorly because they're hungry make mediocre kids look more successful.
I loved the free lunch at my old school. It helped a lot as my mom was struggling financially back then. Now there may not be any more free lunches. This is going to hurt a lot of children who need it.
King James Version (KJV)
Mark 7:27 But Jesus said unto her,Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs
I still just cannot believe there are people who are against feeding children. It's just so evil. Imagine their surprise when I tell them we should just feed all people.
As a former probation officer and middle school teacher, I can state for a fact that humans can only learn as long as they can comfortably sit on their butts and have full tummy’s. We all know how we feel when we’re hungry. Why would we expect anything less from a child. FEED THE CHILDREN✌🏻
Was the perfect post probation job, that’s for sure. Middle schoolers are ornery, but oh so much fun. And I can say without hesitation, so were my probationers😉

Feeding the hungry is one of the six keys to the peace eternal

“Free lunch” was also just PB&J at the time & those kids were picked on.
Probably requires an /sarcasm tag in this age of absurdity.
