This should be a billboard. It would perfectly reach the kind of people who need to see this.
The people that need to see it either don’t want to see it, or don’t care.
And in the background lurks the frozen food supply company that graciously feeds the children and prisoners of the United States.
Then the guy on the right stands outside the school while a shooter methodically murders all the students because he’s scared
Well, at least now the cops are fully equipped to go into those schools and body slam 14-year-olds for using the F word.
Please. They’re going to hangout outside and talk for a couple hours because they “may” have heard gunshots.
My wife has been a school kitchen manager for a number of years. Lunch debt is such bullshit. We funded free school meals for all students for a year during covid and it cost $10 billion. We could have funded school lunches for many years just with what we’ve sent to the Ukraine. We don’t have it because we have no way to influence the people we elect to do the things we value. It is clearly not something our elected representatives value.
While I’m definitely in favour of funding school lunches, and agree it should be trivial to find that in the budget, you need to understand that kids can’t eat the aging military equipment that’s being sent to help Ukraine defend themselves, crippling a hostile dictatorship with equipment that would otherwise mostly be scrapped.
Always check who is selling the state these things, that’s where the corruption is done.
Prison food for kids.
Its training kids when fall down the prison pipeline, especially if they live in a minority area
Do they look like that though?
Don’t kids get free breakfast and lunch in US schools? Asking because all government funded schools do that in the country I live, and there are 1,186,570 government funded schools as of 2018 data.
No, most schools don’t do breakfast, and almost all of them charge for food.
Any attempt to actually feed children is treated as a direct attack on Freedom or some shit.
Hell, the FBI only started to care about the Black Panthers when they started feeding kids.
It sucks ass.
No, most schools don’t do breakfast
Quick research shows at least 75% of schools do.
115k US Schools with over 90k serving breakfast (according to USDA data)
Not always. There’s usually some kind of reduced price or free program for low income households. Edit: this is a federally administrated program so the free/reduced costs for low income households should apply to all schools.
And I feel like it’s somewhat more common to have just free lunch for all compared to th past? (But most schools stay paid…) My school district switched to free meals for everyone my 2nd year of highschool. But that’s all location dependant.
Looks like California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Vermont all have free school meals across the board, which accounts for a bit more than 20% of the country. But this is a SUPER recent development, California was the first and that was only in 2022.
Depends on the state. Minnesota does, and our governor won’t shut up about it, lol.
Nope, it’s the other way: police looks like this to kerp kids lunch looks like that
