A bill to end lunch debt? No no, to end kids shaming other kids over it. What?!. You'd have better luck herding flies. It's a parent's, not the government's responsibility to teach their kids morals. Dear lord the stupid is strong in this one.

Very important honey

What a ridiculous waste, All schools offer Free and reduced lunch! If the parents cannot afford it, they can apply! It is that easy! It wasn’t a “string” of incidents... maybe two incidents! She is looking for attention, and just is looking to have a bill! Good Grief!

Just end school food instead

😂😂😂😂 I fucking love how soft everyone is. I’m going to start going to elementary schools to shame the poor kids

the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that broke into our country are getting free healthcare and food and welfare.Real American kids should at least get a free lunch,real food also,not the garbage mike obama created.

Ok- good.what else should we be worrying about. How about kids on the border?

Yep...exactly what we need to be focusing on.

Look at the big space on the bill for invisible ink

Why is this a federal issue? Answer: it isn’t!!

Probably involves sending the kids to prison

Curani abuse

It is not Big deal !!!

Pay your bills.

But want are they gonna do about Ms. Iampetro's hair net?

We have a massive illegal immigration problem that these asshats don't want to do anything about, but God forbid a kid has to give a free lunch token to the lunch cashier. Now that's a problem that needs some solving!

Before or after proclaiming “death to America”?

Do you think America will fight Iran?
