Private charity should be involved with Public Schools?

Providing a free or reduced cost meal is incidental to the school mission, and someone providing one as charity is no more "getting involved with public schools" anymore than a charity providing students with clothes or shelter is "being involved" with public schools.

Nobody learns more than a hungry child. Right? I mean if they're hungry they can focus on studies, readings, etc. Brilliant plan gop, bloody fucking brilliant.

Apparently OP wants them to learn how to rob people

Poor kid, earn your lunch the old-fashioned way kids by taking the lunch money from the nerdy child of the progressive in your class. His parents will have taught him both to not fight back and that you deserve the money more than him so it's a win-win.

Yeah because gubmit has more charitable things to spend money on. Like funding Uday and Qusay to travel all over the world so the Trumps can make more money

There is a deficiency in food and nutrition for kids. This harms them in all sorts of ways. Including in education and learning capacity. Without healthy kids, schools will fail their mission. And it goes beyond that. The role of our government and the sort of society we are as a whole. The lunch program helps address our failings.

Fiscally and morally this is a problem which private charity should be handling.

Yes, it should have. But it didn't, so the government needed to.
Hungry children is not a new problem. It was not a new problem when we started the lunch program. Private charity had plenty of time to step in and solve this problem but they didn't.

I do not understand the lack of empathy and cheerleading for a race to the bottom. With the top 1% holding 40% of the wealth (more than the bottom 95% combined), we choose to go after the pennies of those on very bottom while ignoring the dollars at the top. Fiscally it makes no sense and morally it makes even less sense.

Can't really appreciate the FYGM headset? It's the updated version of the "Greed is good" headset of the Reagan era.

What a unique and persuasive political argument. Surely Congress will see your post and change their minds.

Wasn't a political argument, just calling you an idiot. No need to reason to a moron who doesn't see the need of a school take care of children that are in their hands for 7 hours a day. If you don't understand the correlation of a learning and proper nutrition, you don't understand a school's mission.

If you expect kids to be in your school for 6-8 hours a day you need to feed them at least once. Kids don't have the ability to provide for themselves, so if you take on the role of keeping them in your building you take on the role of providing for them while they are there.

That sounds like a problem with progressives who think that feeding poor kids is a good cause yet didn't do so before and wouldn't now. That doesn't mean you get to make it everyone else's obligation.

Great point!
I don't have kids so fuck schools I refuse to pay for them! If you want your kids to go to school you should group up with other Parents to educate the kids. Fuck families, fuck schools, fuck State Schools, fuck teaching people to read!
Fuck the Police!

Food and nutrition is a great cause that those millions of people could be protesting instead of dressing up as vaginas. It doesn't have a trendy vibe to it so the SJWs will not touch it.
 
I thought glenn posted this because he was concerned about the cutback. But indeed I was wrong. So that leads me to ask, why would you make this topic and what type of person gloats about hungry children?

Progressives know themselves well enough to know they won't voluntarily contribute to charity to address the causes they support and thus want the government to force them to do so via taxes.

The boogeyman progressive strikes again!
