Anyone want to bet on how much of that the kids see? Anyone?

The human will is a powerful thing.

I was so disgusted I refused to do another event like that ever again.

The poor in America are not poor and I’m sick of having my taxes hiked repeatedly to support them.

I feel the same way.
There are no poor. Thrift stores with CHEAP clothes & toys ABOUND, even in my small corner of BFE here in ND.
OH sure it may not be the new nice stuff, but that is why being poor is undesirable & acts as a motivator to do better.
It is why I do not give to charities like this.
I will help in other ways I think are appropriate.

For many LAUSD students, the free and reduced priced breakfasts and lunches eaten at school are their only nutritious meals of the day.

It is not the role of the Federal Government to feed people.
If it any entity’s role, it should be the state at the behest of its people.
With the availability for all sorts of welfare food stamp programs, no one in this country has any excuse to go hungry.

This is why food supplement programs administered by the FED need to be eliminated.
It is not an enumerated power.
LEt the states worry about feeding their hungry.
Local control is best.

“Some of our country’s greatest visionaries saw the school lunch program as a way to help lift American families out of economic despair during the depression era. They knew this early investment in our children would have long-term impacts on the health and education of America’s next work force,” said Torlakson.

If that were even slightly true the graduation rate wouldn’t be in the shi**er along the gazillions of dollars we’ve spent on the cesspool that is public edumacation…..

There would be no problems if they would just pay their fair share.

I’m sick of funding freebies for poor people.

Free prenatal care
Free deliveries
Free vaccinations
Free school lunches
Free daycare
Free_______

And I’m sick of the annual company and community drives for school supplies, winter coats, toys, et al.

I worked in Memphis until 2006 and one year I volunteered to hand out donated toys to ‘underprivileged’ members of the community at Christmas time.

Hundreds of people lined up before opening to receive their big bag of toys and even bicycles.

As I watched the ‘customers’ enter I saw nice jewelry, clothes, cell phones, etc. and many of the recipients putting the donated stash of toys into pretty nice cars. One even had a Cadillac Escalade if I recall correctly.

One lady who got FIVE brand new bicycles, for free!, complained that they weren’t the right mix of boys and girls bikes.

I was so disgusted I refused to do another event like that ever again.

“School children cannot learn when they are hungry,” said Superintendent Cortines.

Wrong. It isn’t optimal but my mom and her 3 brothers and 2 sisters grew up during the depression w/o a father. When each got into high school they had to help support the family on top of doing their school work. Each of them were the equivalent of B+ or higher gpa students. The oldest brother was a 3 sport per year letterman and the number 1 student in his class. They got one meal per day. Depending on how much money was earned for living expenses it was either lard and sugar or bread and milk.

The word “embezzle” was not found in this story.

…nor the word…d e m o c r a t !

Feelgood revisionist liberal B.S. School lunch programs were started AFTER WWII to use up the excess food supplies that had been stockpiled for the military.

Just like every other welfare program, they’ve expanded to include everyone who doesn’t actually need it, robbing citizens of any sense of responsibility.

And if you notice shenanigans like these going on in the program, obviously you’re just a racist who hates inner city kids and want them to starve to death. No further discussion necessary.

The starving kids were a prop.

Aren’t they always with the left?

School district bullies steal kids’ lunch money
posted at 5:51 pm on February 7, 2013 by Mike Antonucci
The California Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes released a scathing report accusing many of the state’s largest school districts of diverting millions of dollars of federal and state aid for the school lunch program to other areas

…they are stealing the food out of the mouths of babies and children?…wonder what their political affiliation is?
