“Dadgum little spoiled brats! Back in my day, we had to walk to school 20 miles barefoot in a blizzard and chop wood for the schoolhouse to keep from freezing! And it was 20 miles uphill! BOTH WAYS!!” And this is ONLY a mild exaggeration of what is happening in some school districts right now!
Until the richest country in the world understands its obligation to provide a basic decent environment for every child born, regardless of their parentage, we are failing as a nation. We are also squandering the real wealth of the nation, its citizens, present and future.
^ At ONE TIME, The Republicans ACTUALLY Agreed with Martens. Republican Senator Daniel J. Morrell said this in his first major speech to the U.S.Congress in the 1860s; In his first speech in Congress Mr. Morrell uttered the following plea for labor: “The American workingman must live in a house, not a hut; he must wear decent clothes and eat wholesome and nourishing food. He is an integral part of the municipality, the State, and the Nation; subject to no fetters of class or caste; neither pauper, nor peasant, nor serf, but a free American citizen. He has the ballot, and if it were possible it would be dangerous to degrade him. The country stands pledged to give him education, political power, and a higher form of life than foreign nations accord their laborers, and he must be sustained by higher rates of wages than those of Europe. Our industries operated by American citizens must be freed from foreign interference and organized into a distinct American system, which will exact some temporary sacrifices but result in general prosperity and true national independence. In maintaining diversified industries we utilize every talent, provide a field for every capacity, and bind together the whole people in mutual dependence and support, assuring the strength and security of our Republic.” So, WHAT HAPPENED??
If only we could make America great again by having the poor wear some kind of patch so we would know who was a real American. I like the dunce cap or maybe a star to indicate who it is okay to hate.
Speaking of school lunches; checkout what kids from OTHER countries around the world eat at THEIR school cafeterias! There are lots of examples on the “net”. The USA school lunch is a shameful embarrassment!!!!
Everything we do under republican rule is an embarrassment; and this is a country that’s supposed to care about children. We make it difficult to get an education, try to kill children’s healthcare, police them as if they were hardened criminals, and as the toon suggests, begrudge them food. All to benefit the ultra-wealthy who are then supposed to Trickle on us all. Not going to happen.
In case it ends up being deleted, here’s MDavis on June 20:
“For two centuries, school students brought lunches from home. Then some schools decided they didn’t like that and threw homemade lunches away. And an evil witch made kids lunches that were so bad,hungry children threw them away, prefering to stay hungry rather than eat the witch’s lunches.”

Okay, wait a minute. The geezer is what, 60s? 70s? That’d make him a boomer. No way his generation shoveled coal as a kid.

They should have taken notes from the Rump family; borrow millions from their fathers.

Teach them a work ethic that their parents probably never learned because too much was handed to them for free.
