re: #49 Lidane

The cold sandwiches and PB&Js are for teh poorz. The kids that can pay get the hot lunches.

There were a few times back in grade school where I’d forgotten my lunch money and had to go to the office and get a lunch voucher. That voucher would get you a truly awful PB&J on dry bread and a carton of milk. The district wanted to save money so they used really cheap ingredients, and it showed.

I still say lunches should be included in the school budget. Don’t charge kids anything. It’ll come out of tax monies, just as it should and every kid gets fed. Schools are an integral part of the community—whatever happened to that kind of spirit, where people worked toward a common good for the entire community? Oh right. It’s all about “you’re on your own”—Tea Party/Libertarian Republicans happened.

They don’t understand the difference between an educated, well taken care of individual who can contribute as a part of the whole, and the selfish individualist who doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself.
