How about a shout-out to the lowly tax-payers who are funding this among countless other FREE programs?
Is that really asking too much from those who are paid to administrate these FREE programs?
Besides, how did the school system morph into a feeding program when there are already food assistance programs through the USDA?
Entitlement was never meant to be a profession.
I TOTALLY agree with you, Brian. I’m sure there are MANY OTHERS who agree also, but have not come forward to voice their opinions. I wonder if we “unite” like other groups do these days, that our voices would actually be heard, and just MAYBE cut out some of the FREEBIES us taxpayers foot the bills for, you think???
