Gee why not make them wear a yellow patch in the shape of a lunch tray 😖(sarcasm) Economy isn't as great for everyone - in spite of what Trump says. Then their's that intentional shaming of children😖 Are these same 'officials' that won't let woman control their bodies?🤷🏻‍♂️

Another way to look at this is kids are getting free PBJ sandwiches at school.

Students who owe lunch money in Rhode Island will only get jelly sandwiches until debt is paidStudents at a Rhode Island school district who owe money on their lunch accounts will have the sole option of a sunflower butter and jelly sandwich until they are able to pay their balances, the district announced. Perhaps kid's should just start taking a lunch to school that way the kid's are not being used to milk more money out of the parents wallet who is already a tax payer. Very nice in America the Great! Idiots look at the root of the problem. It’s POOR!! No words!!
