RE: “breakfast? wow, talk about letting the government raising our children. stand up parents !”

Los Angeles Unified Schools, with some 85% minority student make-up, has for a long time served breakfast as well as lunch to the masses — on taxpayers’ dime.
A friend of mine who teaches in the trenches, the worst schools, claims that those kids are all getting the food. What’s interesting to him is that he routinely sees those same kids herded over to the nearest McDonald’s or whatever right after school is out. The parents take them there and somehow manage to pay for the food unless that’s on vouchers, too!
Oh, and lest I forget, many many of those elementary grade kids are already quite overweight!!! How much food do they need, anyway? They are probably not getting proper nutrition but they sure are stuffing their fat little faces.
See my post #71—same kind of deal you are talking about. Once these programs are started, they will never be repealed. No Republican would have the guts to do it. No it’s just a matter of expanding across the board.
