School lunch shaming will now be against the law in California

Says the fake "Christian" that misuses and ignores God's word.
The schools aren't providing the meals. Taxpayers are being forced to fund meals for freeloaders whose parents refuse to do their job.
This thread is about school lunch programs. If you want to create a thread about some other areas where taxes shouldn't be funding things, do so. I'll respond to that topic, too.
When you reward parents that have the intention of being irresponsible, only idiots believe doing so will produce more responsible parents.
There's plenty wrong with forcing those of us that met the responsibility of feeding our kids to enable other parents to be freeloaders.
Do you think the parents that demand someone else feed THEIR kids would be willing to allow those of us meeting THEIR responsibility to discipline their kids to the degree we provide the basics for them?
They do every time they refuse to feed their own kids and place the responsibility of doing so on the taxpayer funded school lunch programs.
Demand - an insistent and peremptory request made as if by right
When parents expect the taxpayer funded schools to do for their kids what they refuse to do for their kids, it's a demand.
"Definition" isn't really important here...this is about the kids....
Not sure why you're worried about the children of others, though...you're not in education....I'll assume you don't volunteer in the community in any capacity....not into the homeless, or food pantries or reaching out to others in general? What are you into?
(If you're not into "it takes a village" that's your choice....no need to complain, though....your comments don't change anything...)
The definition is the key here.
As long as I pay the taxes that fund schools, I'm in education.
It doesn't take a village. It takes responsible people doing what they're supposed to do. The it takes a village nonsense came about when irresponsible people chose to be irresponsible then DEMANDED others do what they refuse to do.
It's a shame people like you are in the classroom. You're enabling irresponsible people to be irresponsible thinking that the enabling will cause them to start doing the right thing.

First you didn't tell me when you served. It would help as things have changed drastically since my retirement in 89.
This doesn't sound like what you just said.
And I agree but how do you make them be responsible parents? You can't so it's either feed their kids or let them starve. Which is it? As I see it we agree that there are cheaters and bad parents out there.
You have done nothing but give me a rash of shit for defending feeding kids school lunches. Ok it's your turn! What would you do about parents not paying to feed their kids school lunches?
I haven't been posting in this thread nor did I read the whole thing. But your question is a good one.
A lot of utility companies, including the one we used to have in STL, have a program where you can add a dollar or two to your payment. The money goes into a fund to help indigent ppl pay their electric bill. It's strictly voluntary, of course. One way school districts could help with the lunch money situation is have a similar program to help out the families who make a little too much to qualify for the free lunch program and who struggle to pay for the reduced lunches.
