      Getting rid of current Republican office-holders would be one place to start. Voting matters, and shit like this is why.

        We’ve been trying that for decades upon decades, haven’t we? How long is it going to take? It’s going to be too late for too many people if it goes on by then. Might end up being too late to deal with climate change… ~Cherri

      Literally everyone in this comment section is missing “regardless of the individual eligibility of each student”. Everyone is getting hysterical over something that isn’t even in the cards.

      Of course a lot of kids rely on free school lunches and they aren’t trying to take that away. They’re trying to restrict free lunches to kids with parents who are actually incapable of feeding them. If parents can afford food for their kids, feed your fucking kids.

        I think the issue is that we should just be feeding the kids point blank regardless of their income level. When I was in school, I was denied lunch on a couple of occasions because I forgot my lunch money and wasn’t on free lunch. That certainly doesn’t help anyone learn.
