At the rural school district I last worked at, we had 1500 students, of whom 1,000 were free lunch and 500 were not. The cost of personnel (an entire department!), computers, and software for vetting students to make sure those 500 didn't get free lunch cost more than the cost of simply feeding them, already.

The GOP jihad about preventing those 500 from getting free lunch is not about taxes or expense, it's about being mean to children. #gop #antichild #school #lunch #meanness

I am not one to assume without proof, but recent news has proven that is indeed a priority of theirs. While the free lunch programs can be improved (tax the rich to pay for it, higher food quality, etc.), this is all but meaningless crap.

No sides are equal in a debate.
