and advocates said the program is necessary to help prevent child hunger during the pandemic, the district's board members opposed the program and believed that families that can afford to feed their children should do just that.

I feel like that's the responsibility of the adult," Karin Rajnicek, a board member, said during a May meeting."I feel like this is a big problem, and it's really easy to get sucked into and become spoiled and think, it's not my problem any more, it's everyone else's problem to feed my children.

NinjaEconomics Omfg they're kids...giving a kid a free lunch would spoil it? Ok the country I live in has been giving free lunches at ALL schools for GENERATIONS. We don't have any spoiled kids, a lot of thankful parents, but no spoiled kids.
Sounds to me that the school board is spoiled and is busy watching everyone else's activities and passing judgement on them. Impeach all the school board that voted for it. Just goes to show selfish can be anywhere, judge, lawyer, cop, teacher, Dr., politician, blue color, etc.
keep ideology outof feeding kids youcan teach em inschool without being malnutricioned it affects also howthey can grow abilities food is essential for ifthey feel well or not for adults too
It’s interesting that whenever the press reports someone getting something free -they show black/ brown faces. This is predominantly white school district and nationally more whites receive welfare than any other demographic
Kids do get so spoiled when they are fed lunch, really should put a stop to it nationwide
Biden should opt-out of providing federal funds for schools that won't feed poor, hungry children.
This is so despicable that words fail me. 'Spoiled' to have a free meal? Give me a break.
wisconsin next, these kids will want decent shoes on their feet! Where does it stop? Come to Wisconsin, Tennessee of the north, trying to take back what southdakota steals from us with sturgis!
Will this illogical person stop eating lunch ?
🤨
The stigma is on poor people again. The cruelty is the point. MissLeslieG sarahkendzior
There's some nuance ('Waukesha voted to return to the National School Lunch Program, which requires families to fill out an application to qualify for free or reduced school meals.') Still, a bad call.
some dumb evil people there
🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️IDIOTS!🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
Stupidity at it's finest.. children eating is a problem? Seriously .. nothing wrong in spoiling them if that's the case.. I guess whoever made this comment is not fit to work in a school. Get out if u don't want.. no one cares
I got questions, like what’s the demo in this school district? The word “spoiled” is sis 🧐
America is a wicked country. They should think about the kids for fucks sake always finding ways to make money
