Were those the only choices? Steal or starve? Do you really not believe that the employee had a duty to pay for the meal?
Of course I do, especially having grown up in a small town in northern Michigan.
Lunches then cost us $.35 and there were a number of fellow students who were allowed to pass thru the lunch line free of charge since it was known they had no means to pay for their lunch............
With that being said, why are you and several others here so intent on prosecuting a school employee for showing Christian compassion in providing a free meal to a 12 year old child, regardless of who pays for it??????????
I believe she did but FIRING HER was a stupid, bureaucratic over-reaction!
Millions of us would have paid the GD !.70 !!!
Typical government decision!!!
