RE: creepy....
Agree.
The Hillary book and speech idea It Takes A Village was from an African saying but it means to her that the Marxist educators and city dwellers will take over the raising and feeding of children by the government, including indoctrination.
The Black Panthers had a free breakfast program for publicity and the government did it later and added lunch. So millions depend on the food and would starve or have low concentration and energy in school from neglectful parents out of work or drunk or on drugs and not making meals for them.
US program: In fiscal year (FY) 2023, the program provided 2.4 billion breakfasts at a total cost of $5.2 billion.
School Meals Program “assures all breakfasts and lunches served to public-school students, grades Pre-K to 12, are free to all children.”
Whenever I help out somewhere and the opportunity presents itself I’ll mention something like “Well - it takes a village. And in the original meaning of the saying where they mean the neighbors - not big government.”
It gets worse. In some districts, the entire family can go to the school for free meals, including during the summer if the school provides summer school. I learned this little factoid when the last “Red for Fred” protests flared up here in Phoenix a few yrs ago. Schools would have the money they need to successfully teach children and increase teachers’ salaries if not for all the social-welfare causes they’ve added to their responsibilities which end up draining their budgets. 😖
