Every student in the City of Cleveland Public Schools receive free lunch and free breakfast every day regardless of income. So few middle-class people send their children to the public schools that they decided to simply give all students free breakfast and lunch.

I’m sorry. But while I can at least understand free lunches for the very poor, ——in general parents have the responsibility to provide food for their kids. Free lunches should be the exception not the rule. Let the parents pack a bag lunch for their cute little progeny and be done with it.

Public schools have become parents. Where are the parents? Is it not the job of parents to feed, house, clothe, and protect their children? No—not when the federal government is concerned. Schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers obviating the need for parents. Parents are only necessary for copulation. Dewey is clapping in his grave.

Starting this year in NYC, every child in public school will get free lunch, so that no child feels stigmatized for getting free lunch. I went k through 8 to Catholic school in a an upper-middle class town and carried a peanut butter sandwich, an apple, and a thermos of milk to lunch ever day for nine years. I turned out just fine.

Because only 26.7% were actually worth the paying price. Good work, Michelle Obama - Obamacare in miniature.

Shitty lunches at that, provided by low-bidder.

Is it any wonder we have a national health crisis?

Odd that the schools with the lowest test scores have the highest percentage of students receiving free meals.

Actually not odd or surprising at all.

Moms who were home with their children in my wealthy neighborhood packed their lunches with healthy and tasty foods. The cafeteria food was unacceptable.
