As states across the country move to make sure students are well fed, Republicans have announced their intention to fight back.

States across the country are moving to provide universal free school meals to all our children. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to stop them from doing just that.

The Republican Study Committee (of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members) on Wednesday released its desired 2024 budget, in which the party boldly declares its priority to eliminate the Community Eligibility Provision, or CEP, from the School Lunch Program. Why? Because “CEP allows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.”

1. They really hate other people's children.....................

4. Especially if those other children have brown or black skin nt

2. That's great.

Alienate those voting teachers.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Republicans are Christians?

Who da thunk it?

[2naSalit]

5. They certainly are...

Providing everyone with every possible reason not to vote for them.

6. So allowing public school money to be diverted to private schools is encouraged

But using public money to feed every student is not.

7. Cruelty-R-Us is the republican motto.

WTF is wrong with the wiring in their cruel brains?

Kids should go hungry?

8. Selfish dummies wasting time on stupid hate

Universal free school lunch is easier when the school simply feeds everyone. It also leaves money and time in family budgets. Does it help the rich families? But can it put extra money in every community? Hell Yes. These pigs really have nothing to offer but hate and distraction. I almost liked the calculating Bush tyrannies, at least we had to stay on our toes. These new GOP leaders are just pathetic, while still dangerous and scary.

9. The continuing policy of, "What can we take from you today?"

Every dollar transferred from the poor to the rich helps to Make America Great Again.

10. Oh fuck off and die Repukes

The whole reason we have a national school lunch program is because back during WWII it was found that many recruits to the armed forces were malnourished. It was for national security reasons it was implemented.

11. It just shows what great Christian's those republicans are!

Why feed the poor? Why be my brothers keeper? Why feed the children?

And there are just about if not more the same amount of white children who also eat free lunches.
