I call bs.
So misleading, this headline. Not anywhere close to that many ate ‘homeless’ and I’ll just bet that a lot of the kids showing up at the food bank are just cheap freeloaders.
Work your way through, like I did! It may delay your degree, but college is optional.
And DONT GO ON WELFARE. I knew people who didnt pay a dime of anything and graduated on time.
Eliminate all welfare!
Whenever you see “could” or “maybe” in an article like this, you know you’re looking at fake news.

Good.
I wish they all were.
Spent their food money on weed and beer.
Oh please...at our daughters university, they had to scale back some of the hours at various food places on campus as they couldnt get enough kids to work there. They sent out multiple pleas for student help/work.
This was an issue back when I was a student in the early 1990s. A lot due to some who maybe could have taken that year off to earn that good bit more money for housing and food. I can remember at least one of my profs telling me that they knew people who took 5-6 years to finish an undergrad to take that sort of time off and avoid getting into debt and having enough money while in school.
Hungry? Homeless? GET A JOB!! We live in the richest country in the history of the world. I cannot feel sorry for any of them.
They never heard of Ramen noodles? Hellzbellz!
Are they hungry enough to get a part-time job?
I was never homeless in college, but I was always hungry. What teenage/young adult guy isnt?
Another thing, a lot of young folks do not know how to eat cheap.
I discovered early that hunger was a motivator.
This is the second article in two days that I have seen bewailing the plight of poor starving college ‘children’, and using about the same numbers.
Maybe if college tuitions hadn’t skyrocketed due to greed and incompetence, and the government getting into the student loan business;
Maybe if Illegal Aliens weren’t given subsidized tuitions in so many states;
Maybe if each semester at even a mediocre school didn’t cost about the same as a nice car, and a four year degree cost about the same as a nice house;
Maybe if they figured out what it was going to cost them ahead of time and either make proper preparations to meet those costs, or to set their sights lower and maybe attend a nearby community college and stay with mom and/or dad;
Or maybe become an apprentice and learn a useful trade while earning some money;
Or maybe spending the liquor, dope, piercing and tattoo budget on food and shelter instead...
“food insecure”

The left just never runs out of silly, meaningless terms.
I never considered them privileged. They can work, and if that won’t help them stay in their indoctrination centers, they need to drop out, and get a full time job or live in their parents basement.
