If you saw what it was like. People who are ill, people who are disabled, people who are deformed, lying in the gutters and everyone walking right past them, hundreds, thousands of people every day walking right past them, yes, you would say no one cares. .
That is total horse shit.
What's horse shit is forcing some kids to pay but not others. It all comes down to race - the white kids have to pay. And libs call that equal treatment!!!
Of course they don't say 'no one cares,' but they do say there isn't anything they as individuals can do anything about. It is up to the government and the government doesn't do it. ..
Yes, twice. .
Ok, and both times you took a tourist trip to India you NEVER met anyone who cared about children or the poor?
You said you work with Indian people. Have they told you that they don't care about children or the poor? That has not been my experience.
If you saw what it was like. People who are ill, people who are disabled, people who are deformed, lying in the gutters and everyone walking right past them, hundreds, thousands of people every day walking right past them, yes, you would say no one cares. It is part of the culture.
One of my visits there was a tourist trip, the other was not. I stayed with Indian people in a town that is not a tourist town. I work with Indian people in an international setting. They are not Indians who are Americans, for whom America is home; they are international people working in a country outside of India. They are professionals. Of course they don't say 'no one cares,' but they do say there isn't anything they as individuals can do anything about. It is up to the government and the government doesn't do it. That is what this thread is all about: the government taking responsibility for people who need help.
If you have been reduced to harping on my terminology, then it's pretty clear you have lost this debate.
I haven't changed my position one iota. .

So, because you took two vacations in India you are the only person who has ever witnessed poverty? And you were granted powers of clairvoyance? Not to doubt your super powers or anything, but don't tell me what I would or would not do in a given situation, Karnack.
Oh, and I note that YOU were among the "hundreds, thousands of people...walking right past them..." You're a real humanitarian, you are.
Their social welfare programs are not designed to help the people in any real way but to make it look like they are helping people. .

Minority mothers are just deadbeats who spend their welfare money on booze and drugs and insist white people feed their kids.
[ Because in India they force retirement on their MD at age 50. .
Please note that it IS NOT THE SCHOOL that made them dump their lunches, it was the contractor, a private contractor not part of the school or school district, that made them dump their lunches. Maybe it is the case the kids don't pay, so the contractor is losing money and was pissed about it. There is no proof at all, however, that the kids who had to dump their lunches were all minorities. There are lots of kids, of every color, who will try to get out of paying if they can. Their parents give them money for 'lunch,' but they want to spend it on other things.
Isn't the free lunch program income based?
Who knows and who cares.? It's all done on the honor system anyway. The minority parents just say they don't have the money (cause they spend it on drugs and booze) and the school takes their word and feeds their kids for free while the white kids pay.
are you always this much of an asshole?.....or is that what your bigot friends tell you to say?....
OK, here's one of those "back in my day" stories. Let me first say that during this time period, each school was part of a school "district", and was not then under any state or federal control.
When I attended high school (in Illinois) back in the mid 1960's, our parents had one of two choices when it came to our lunches. They had to sign a form which stated that their children would either pay for their lunches or they would bring their own lunches. There was no such thing as the school paying for your lunch.
Additionally, we were responsible for bringing our own notebooks, paper, pen/pencils, etc. There was a "book store" within the school where you could buy these items. If you lost or damaged one of your initial study books, you bought a replacement from the book store. All proceeds from these sales stayed within the school, and the profits went to fund other school activities, such as building a school 'float' for local parades.
Frankly, I think we should go back to that type of operation. The state or federal government should not be in charge of feeding our children. That's up to the parents, who should be responsible for making sure their children are fed, clothed, and properly prepared when they go to school.
get the damn feds out of our schools.in this country the day we can't give kids in school a hot lunch [thye are the future] while they are trying to learn the skills needed to succeed [they are our future] is a sad day for America !!no child should go hungry !!
And yet hot lunches are provided based on income, and too much for some who have bills to pay for. If we are going to provide them for some children, why not for all? And while we're at it, why do they have to be hot? Have you had a hot lunch at a school lately? Our elementary school lunches are all made in the central kitchen at 5am. By the time they get to the schools, they are rubbery and tasteless. Check out the waste. So much of those lunches end up in the garbage because the students can't or won't eat them.
Our junior highs and high schools have their lunches prepared fresh in their kitchens. Fresh salads, you can make your own sandwiches, those lunches are good, and the same price as the lunches at the elementary schools. Something is wrong with the school lunch program, it needs to be fixed.
get the damn feds out of our schools.

However, you are right that we don't know what the racial makeup of the kids was who didn't pay. Could have been an all-black school. Could have been an all-white school.

ATTLEBORO (CBS) – The school lunch company announced Friday that it is taking disciplinary actions against four of it’s employees it says denied school lunch to students who didn’t have enough money in their accounts at the Coelho Middle School in Attleboro.
Holly Van Seggern, a spokesperson for Whitsons, said that several individuals will be terminated as a result of their investigation.
Van Seggern said, “As a family company, we can hardly imagine the shock and humiliation they felt and our primary focus at this time is to help restore the community’s faith in our ability to provide every child in the district with the meals they need to fortify themselves throughout each and every school day.”
America is so screwed up that workers get fired for NOT letting customers steal from the company!!!
