“Rush rants” with good reason. Feed your own damn kids. And he’s right-—this is all about SEIU jobs.

a spokesperson said the district would not dignify the host's comments with a statement.

IMAGINE! Asking the question of why the government has to feed 3 meals a day to children. HOW DARE YOU SIR!

Also right in line with child care in Mao’s communes.

“Lots of under privileged children are made to feel bad because they can’t afford stuff as nice as their rich classmates.”
In Memphis they don’t have “rich classmates”, most of them live in the suburbs and/or go to private schools.

No one in this country goes hungry unless his parent or guardian is stealing from them and diverting funds or benefits intended to feed him to other uses.

School ‘dinners’ plays right into the hands of SEIU who would benefit financially from the program as they are the ones who provide the meal services.

If they are getting breakfast and lunch at school... why are they starving at dinner? And if we are feeding kids for free, why aren’t we feeding all the kids? Isn’t that discriminatory?/sarc

When I was a student in NJ many moons ago, school children got free milk and soup at lunch which the proceeds from horse racing provided. And you didn’t have to be fake poor to receive, you just had to be a student.

Who cares. Everything plays into the hands of these facilitators.

Said it before and I’ll say it again - Nutraloaf should be the meal served for free by goobermint agencies. It has the calories and nutrients necessary to stave off starvation, but the taste and texture are an incentive to provide something better for yourself. It can be made in huge batches and doesn’t require a kitchen, or plate or even a spork to be served to customers. Prisons, shelters and schools should be serving up a nice slice to anyone who asks for it.

Don’t you know that in the end, that anyone who had enough money to buy their own food was labeled a Kulak.

Yes, I know most of these benefits are not income. So they don’t offset someone getting earned income credit and child deductions, etc. So for many of these “poor” people, all of their income is available for discretionary spending (fancy manicures, gold teeth, you name it). While the rest of us juggle and balance, trying to keep it going from month to month. Yet we are seen as the “bad guys” and unsympathetic to those who are “in poverty”.

Rush is correct here. My initial thought was that this was just another step on the path to total state run/state controlled life. The next step is to just put the kids into a creche as soon as they are born. The mother and father are just sperm and egg donors. The offspring are the total wards of the state.

And of course the parents must be “Taxed/Fee’ed/child support ordered” to pay for this wonderful program that will take this “Unwanted Burden” out of their lives.

I’m a native Mid-Southerner and after retiring from the military, I worked as a public school teacher in districts in Northern Mississippi (think Memphis, but just on a smaller scale).

At the last school where I worked, every single child qualified for the school lunch program (and we had more than 300 kids enrolled). In fact, they also qualified for the supplemental nutrition program, which meant we had to stop class every morning at 8:45 and march them to the cafeteria for breakfast. In the afternoon, every school participating in the post-school program got a snack as well. If “Supper at School” had been a reality in those days, we would have fed them again.

Here’s the dirty little secret that Ms. Hartman and school officials won’t tell you. Funding for many federal school programs is linked to the number of children who qualify for free or reduced lunches. So, getting more kids in the cafeteria, as often as possible, means more federal dollars. No wonder Memphis school cafeterias will soon match Denny’s operating schedule?

And what do we get for all this supplemental nutrition? The school where I taught was on the verge of state takeover, because our seventh graders were reading and doing math on a second grade level. And Memphis has some of the worst public schools in the country.

One more thing: as Rush observed today, Memphis ranks as the fifth-fattest city in America, and a lot of the obese residents are kids. How can so many kids be “hungry” (and in need of school-supplied supper) in a town with an obesity epidemic?

"That doesn't sound very sympathetic," he said. "I mean, my boy eats dinner at home, but some other people's might not."

Where are these parents when the child gets home? Why do they have so little contact with the child that lunch and even dinner (and breakfast in other schools) isn't provide?

When the gov't is providing things, like essential meals, directly to your child, the child is not longer yours. You are losing status. You are losing influence in your child's lives.

We see this move to make gov't more influential with kids in CA under AB 499 which allows 12 year olds to directly consent to medical treatments like vaccinations.

Gov't becomes the parent, not a helpmate, under the Democrat's worldview.
