Reply #137: The school supplies aren't bought to snatch them away from the kid.

So to say that they're confiscating their "stuff" is erroneous at best. Who said these were communal supplies. Except for things like tissues and baby wipes it is my understanding that the items are for that child's use. Neither of my nieces nor my nephew had to buy supplies for placement into a communal pot.

But the concept of taxes is still one that should be learned early and the previous poster's framing reeks of right winged propaganda.
