Parents get food stamps. School has free breakfast.
Still, kids show up unfed.
It is not a lack of food.
Parents are so awful, they cannot shift their lazy butts out of bed to get the kid fed free food before school.
you nailed it.
This isn’t about food stamps.
The kids are being indoctrinated via their stomachs.
Take away all the family meals...
Teach the children who really controls their food...
Their in a place where they cannot thank God for their food...
This really circles back to ....Ask any Christian why the family meal is so important? Why would the progressive, liberals want to break up family meals...no matter how meager they may be?
Ever hear of a guy called Royal Meeker? Look him up...
And this isn't just a ghetto thing. There are suburban people who drop their kids off well before eight am (before school care) and have them bussed to after school care facilities picking them up at 5,6 pm at night. 10, 11, 12 hours a day the kids are in these places.
There’s free breakfast too.
And I know the kids still show up for school hungry.
Because their parents have been relieved of all responsibility by Progressive Government, to the point they don’t shift their lazy a$$e$ to get their kids fed before school.
We’ve paid for breakfast two ways. They still show up hungry. What horrible parents. Caused by liberalism.
The schools are get paid for these food programs. So they are pushing the story that this ‘free’ food program is necessary. Take what they say with a grain of salt. A lot of grains of salt.
And the food vendors make more money if there’s a bigger food giveaway. And there’s parents who are more than happy to have you pay to feed their children.
So you have three special interest groups that make money or benefit from this program. Versus an unorganized mass of taxpayers. Guess who wins.
My S.O. is a teacher. She has a couple of kids who regularly show up hungry.
She has to send them to the office for food around 10:00. Their entire morning is wasted until they get that food circulating in their system.
The parents are literally starving their kids.
This is learned helplessness, at the foot of Liberals. Starving kids. Liberals’ fault.
You make a good point. There are so many things wrong about this situation. We could go on and on.
(As published in my local paper ....)
Awful parents are to blame for hungry kids.
As Americans, we already give them free food stamps to pay for their childrens breakfast. Further, we have instituted free breakfast in schools, just to make sure their children are fed. School breakfast is there just in case the parents are so incompetent they cant make food stamps work.
Kids still show up for school hungry. Why? Because their parents are so disorganized and uncaring that they get their kids to school too late and unfed.
No amount of free food by way of food stamps or free breakfasts can solve the main underlying problem: awful parents. They literally let their kids starve instead of shifting their lazy behinds.
No amount of government assistance can overcome this. Indeed, when government consistently relieves people of responsibility for their behavior throughout their lives, it teaches them the precise lack of caring that achieves starving kids.
And progressives call these government programs caring. Government cares so much, it permanently teaches people how to be irresponsible.
