Lunch Shaming involves the practice in public schools when a student doesn't have enough credit to pay for a school meal. When the card is declined the cashier takes the tray of food and dumps it into the trash.

The practice is public shaming and public humiliation from the people who lecture you about bullying being wrong, how we should stop inequality, and how we should stop singling out disadvantaged kids.

There shouldn’t be any “federal nutrition dollars to schools” in the first place!

Will they be allowed to be shamed and lose their free lunches if their parents wont allow them to get the jab?

"But we know that more work needs to be done, at both the state and federal level, to ensure that no child is food insecure."

From the looks of kids these days, most need to skip a few meals anyway. We have the richest poor people on earth and the fattest starving people on earth.

Hmmm.... I recall brown paper bags, warm bologna sandwiches, mostly brown banana, and on a good day a ding dong or some chips. And if you were ashamed of your lunch, you could try and trade off some items.

I guess I should be grateful that these days I have enough money to pay for the lunches of kids with parents that can’t be bothered to make them a lunch or can’t afford to care for their progeny...

Any school employee throwing away food while a kid goes hungry should be criminally charged. Of course, in my world, a parent sending their kid to school without a lunch would result in some changes to that situation too...

When I went to the lunchroom in high school, it was required to pay up front in cash ... I usually couldn’t afford it ...

So, we have food stamps and welfare and still have to furnish two meals a day for kids? What are the food stamps for?

The parents should be ashamed that they can’t feed their own children.

They should do public service at night and on weekends.

With the billions wasted every year on EBT, no child in this country should go hungry at school. If they can afford a cell phone........................................

Our district is everyone gets free lunch and breakfast, and we are an upper middle class district. The only kids who bring lunch are the ones who don’t like what is on the menu.

“unresolved debt for school meals”

We never had this problem, because if you didn’t have cash or a free lunch card, you didn’t get lunch.

Of course, some teacher or administrator would just buy that kid lunch and then probably talk to their parents, but nobody got lunch on credit.

“The new law is both timely and critical because it boosts federal nutrition dollars to schools across Massachusetts, and keeps children out of what should be an ‘adult only’ conversation on school meal debt,”

_______________________________

So, not only is communist Massachusetts spending other people’s money to support their communist regime’s goals, they’re using other people’s money from other states.

How generous of them. Taking lessons from CA, again.

I miss the United States of America.

taking something without paying is theft.

theft without consequence is not theft. it’s charity.

don’t complain if people see it for what it is... a free charity lunch.

penalize them or STFU

I wonder how many times that really happens. Absurd that they would throw away food.
