why do people hate kids getting free school lunches so much? it’s not communism it’s putting our tax dollars towards people who need it. and it wouldn’t cause a big tax hike it’s literally just an allocation of what you’re already paying to a good cause.

Kids who need it already do get free school lunches. There was a lot of publicity about kids whose parents were determined to have the ability to pay but habitually did not not getting unlimited HOT lunches but they always received food.

That completely different. You choose to bring children into this world. You should never be choosing to bring children into this world if you can’t afford 3 healthy meals a day per child.

Because it stems from poor people having children. I’m sorry but I think it’s wrong to have children when you’re living in poverty. If you’re living off the government why are you having children??? It’s proven that children who grow up in poverty have less opportunities and typically live the rest of their lives in said poverty. It’s selfish and not ok. If people only had children when they can afford to feed their kids school lunches wouldn’t be necessary

Yeah, poor people shouldn’t have children. Have you seen a neighborhood riddle in poverty? Needles on the ground where children play? Kids getting beat cause their parents are on drugs? Kids starving because their mother uses all their benefits on stupid shit. I’m not saying ban people from having children when they are poor, I’m saying that people should be responsible and stop having children unless they are financially stable. I’m not sure why that’s controversial

because you’re whole mindset is basically saying “don’t help the poor kids because their parents should have never had them in the first place” i understand that’s your opinion but its rooted in classism. just because someone is lower class doesn’t mean they can’t live a fulfilling life. i grew up poor and DID get free lunches from my school. now i’m getting a degree, my family OWNS a house now, we all worked our asses off and do you really think my parents shouldn’t have had me?

This feels so removed from any human emotion that it’s genuinely weird. You can be poor and create a loving home for your children. You can be born with addiction or a genetic predisposition to addiction. Many parents willingly starve so their children don’t. My own mother grew up in the projects. Her and her siblings all made sure their kids wouldn’t. My grandfather sent my dad and his siblings to Catholic school and worked multiple jobs just to afford it.

So many parents all over make sacrifices to give their kids a loving household and a good childhood. More people than you think break out of poverty. While not all, millions of blue collar workers are doing exactly what you say is a rare exception. Many of our soldiers come from poverty and go in for stable employment and affordable education.

i’m sorry for what you went through, but i think this is definitely causation vs correlation. you can have a loving and supportive family while also being poor. i was lucky enough that my parents always supported me and helped me and my special needs brothers even when we were paycheck to paycheck and crammed in a tiny two bedroom apartment. i never resented it because they fostered an environment i learned how to grow in.

when I was in elementary, my parents were considered middle class. but they had five kids in school at the same time and both of them worked, so money and time were both a bit tight. my school provided free lunches and it allowed just enough wiggle room for all of us to thrive. I can’t imagine what it must be like for children growing up with less money and not having that safety net of free lunch. Kids should not go hungry

You realize our ppl cannot get out of poverty and are entrenched in inescapably underfunded underserved communities because… there are people actively preventing it from being cleaned up and provided for? parents divorced when i was in 2nd grade. dad was great in single fatherhood until became an addict. mom used WIC after the divorce to support us while waiting tables at an old Lone Star (rip) until she finished her degree to get a good job to support us & then married again too…

They won’t starve if they are removed from poverty and placed with a family that can feed them 3 healthy meals a day. Starving is not the only alternative.

Most kids that are removed from families grow up in the foster system and if they’re not adopted end up in poverty. I’m happy you had a different outcome but many children in the system don’t get adopted and are abused, assaulted, sometimes in a worse situation than they were previously. If you want to advocate for this authoritarian approach then the foster system needs to be fixed, though if you act anything like how you’ve acted here in real life I can’t imagine many people will care to liste
