For the life of me I can't figure out how this is a decisive topic. What is the argument against it? The only thing I can even imagine is people don't want their tax dollars going to feeding children? But I mean, is whether or not it is a good endeavor to feed children really a tough nut to crack?
When walz was picked for VP I noticed one of the talking points Fox News had AGAINST him was that he pushed for free food in schools. Why the hell is that a bad thing??
Some people really just want to hurt their out-groups. Some people are selfish. Some people fundamentally do not think government should exist.
Those people are assholes who should not be in any positions to make decisions.
The fun part is that there's enough administration overhead to handling eligibility that just feeding all the kids doesn't cost that much.
Feeding all the kids costs LESS in most cases than the administrative cost to determining eligibility, and doesn't put any (less) stigma on those who choose to accept it. Our school district does free lunch for any student, any grade, throughout the summer. I think making as little a deal about it as possible is a dignity thing. Let people have help without hoops to jump through or a societal perception of shame.
Also hungry kids don't learn.
Well, why are the children participating in frivolous activities like education? Shouldn't they be in the mines and factories, earning money for their betters?
Aren't higher educated people voting predominantly Democrat?
