In Trumponia, kids do better with empty stomachs. It's their nature to have that grumbling and nutrition is a myth. Let them fight it out with hunger because they are natural enemies. Beautiful motivation.

it's a disgrace that has nothing to do with trumpft and everything to do with republicans and capitalism.

We charge them for the privilege of eating junk food.

We charge kids for lunch so they can learn early there's no such thing as a free lunch.

And we charge kids for lunch so that food corporations can make money off them.

It's cruel and embarrassing for the "richest country in the world" to make money off of children.

We chortle about being number one, but we can't feed our kids a bagel & some OJ before school?

Too bad about all that disposable table ware, though.

We should also pay teachers a lot more and make the school day longer (the way to do that is to have kids in class until 3-4 pm, then have them do proctored homework for 1-2 hours. Such a system would have working parents picking their kids up at about the time those parents get off from work.
