it’s socially acceptable to publicly starve kids in the united states.
honestly i don’t even care if the kids parents are rich, you shouldn’t punish children for not being able to afford to eat when they have no ability or means to pay for such a thing on their own.
by withholding lunches and breakfasts over 2 dollar debts you are abusing a child. there’s no question about this. that is child abuse.
and say a parent is intentionally not paying these debts to abuse their child, the state is complicit with this abuse. the school systems are actually the means by which the parent does the abusing. under no argument can you defend this without accepting that you think child abuse is okay.
I started a petition about this, because my brother’s school was doing this, and in the state of Ky you’re TECHNICALLY not supposed to. You’re supposed to keep a tab and send it home as a bill if the student can’t pay. So to get around it, the school gave the kids who couldn’t pay peanut butter crackers instead of real food. Like they were technically still FEEDING them, but they had to straight up THROW THEIR TRAY AWAY and take the crackers at the end of the lunchline when they got to the cash register. They didn’t even take the food back. They made the kids throw it away.
I got so pissed off.
Not the kid’s fault, btw. It was almost exclusively kids who were neglected so bad their parents hadn’t filled out the paperwork for the free lunch program.
so we cannot even make the argument that schools simply cannot afford to feed these poor kids, they absolutely can, but instead of feeding these children they choose to throw their food into the garbage. There are no arguments to be made here. This is child abuse. I cannot say that enough.
America 100% has the ability and resources to feed all children (people of all ages, for that matter!)
