Obama's America:
Free meals for all Detroit schoolchildren in fall | Detroit Free Press | freep.com (http://www.freep.com/article/20110816/NEWS01/110816004/Free-meals-all-Detroit-schoolchildren-fall - broken link)

All Detroit Public Schools students will receive free breakfast, lunch and snacks in an effort to remove the stigma of being from a low-income family.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture program chose Michigan as one of three states to participate in the pilot program. Charter schools and districts in Michigan can participate if at least 40% of students are eligible for public assistance.
“One of the primary goals of this program is to eliminate the stigma that students feel when they get a free lunch, as opposed to paying cash,” said DPS Chief Operating Officer Mark Schrupp. “Some students would skip important meals to avoid being identified as low-income. Now, all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay. Low-income students will not be easily identifiable and will be less likely to skip meals.”
Why in the F is it the taxpayer's job to provide these meals? Where are the parents? Quit blowing the food stamp money on booze and chips and make your child a damn sandwich.
Oh noes giving children free lunches!!!! The horror.
LOL, then you pay for them. I have my own life and problems to worry about. I don't have nor want children, so why should I provide for others? Hmmmmmmmm?

I have no problem with my taxes going to school lunches. It's much better then them going to the war on terrorism, or the war on drugs.

I agree they are worthless too.
But why should I be forced to pay for other people's children? Why are people having kids they can't afford? Not my responsibility.
Republicans are simply evil. They have no compassion for hungry children, but they love their hand outs to big farms.
