Bernie Sanders chimes in after Richfield students shamed for lunch debt [View all]
(snip)
After learning that more than 40 students were served hot lunch only to have it taken away and thrown in the garbage because of negative meal balances, Sanders called the incident "outrageous" and asked his GOP colleagues to support a bill that wipes out school lunch debt and provides three free meals to students across the country every day.

Sanders and Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar authored a bill in October that aims to:
Prohibit school lunch programs from denying children hot meals.
Wipe out existing delinquent meal debt and stop harassment of families.
Increase reimbursement rates to schools for meal preparation.
