Students with no lunch credit told to throw lunches away>>MOD WARNING<<

Nope... I was talking about taking a look at some of the other democracies in the world today, where they've made it so you can't buy the government through lobbyists.

I guess you're a lobbyists, because to you a nation without lobbyist control would mean a nation without a job for your kind. Do you get paid on commision?

Where does it say in the constitution or declaration of independence that the government is to be owned and controlled by the highest bidder?

 

In a later post you said you would give the lion's share to the private company. That was after I had said: Why is it so hard for the Right to blame the private contractor?

I am starting to think the problem with the right is their fuddled memory.

 

Thats right. Clearly showing you that some of "the right" isnt as you have been programmed to think we are.

Think what you like I guess. You might be as wrong with that one as you were with also assuming your version of "the right" wouldnt lay any blame on the contactor.

 

Sorry, there have been many stupid remarks trying to avoid talking about the issue. Any normal person would expect these thread to have unity on something so disgusting. Why in the world would posters make it about politics, school systems or states?

My solution would to feed children always. Children should not be blamed or punished for others actions.

 

Here is where we are divided.

You want a big powerful government that can do good as libs define good.

But you're pissed that smart, successful people who do not share your bias are able to have inluence.

I think government should be limited and unable to do good or bad through social engineering.

 

except they were given alt lunches....

 

The word is "Whitsons" and their employees threw away lunches and didn't feed children. Whitsons is 100% responsible for the situation.

Why throw away lunches and not feed children? If Whitsons sets up a stupid, cruel policy, they are solely to blame.

 

where are you getting this "did not feed them" thing. It could just as easily been "made them throw away hot meals, and made them eat bologna sandwhiches" The story does not say one way or the other.

 

Its the blame of the parents. And this coming from someone who, just last week, had a $60 balance owed on her daughters lunch account

All of this is online. I go and pay for my daughters lunch online and it tells me what she is buying and what the balance is. I had put $100 on the account at the beginnign of December and she comes home the other day telling me she owed. I had calulated the $2.50 X how every many months and thought i had enought to cover a few months lunch so didnt bother checking. Little did I know she was also buying breakfast so that 100 went quicker than I thought.

My fault for not keeping up on it and checking it regularly. Never got a note home from the school...but really...its my own fault, they shouldnt have to keep track of my childs well being.

Btw- my daughter is 14 and I leave the house 30 minutes before she does in the morning, so I thought she was eating breakfast before she left since i buy plenty of breakfast stuff. Sometime she did, sometimes not.

 

Of course, you believe the humane thing is to not feed children. What a surprise.

Wasn't a politician made a butt of many jokes for saying the same thing?

 

My wife wakes up early every morning to cook my son and myself lunch , a well rounded meal, and puts it in the proper containers to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. This is a dying trend but extremely helpful act.

 

Great, keep pointing out your humanity and your party will go away or your party will finally reject you.

 

Wow you must have some well-adjusted kids. How young were they when you started tying chores to them getting fed, and how far behind on shoveling the walks and cutting the grass would you let them get before you fired them from the family?

 

What do libs care if my party goes away or not?

All you need is one party to deliver the free government goodies and you already have that with the dems.

 

Still pretending Boles doesnt exist I see, and has no part to play with regards to the policies in his school..the responsibilities..or the kids....

Moving on to responding to honest posters.

 

I believe that I blame the party involved. Your opinion that others are to blame is only an excuse to take some of the blame away from a private contractor.

 

which is great and how it should be...but the reality is society has changed, at one time not long ago a mother at home was common but not anymore...now it takes two parents incomes to pay the bills, the time for home made meals has been replaced by pre-made food, kids who don't know how to cook left to fend for themselves...then there are the families that have broken down and those food preparations your wife follows have been lost or the very poor that just don't have money for three meals a day...

put yourself in a similar situation, how well would you cope if your wife was not there? and you had no time because you were out all day working to pay the bills...and if you like my father was never taught to cook because it was women's work...I recall how my quickly my family suffered when my mother was hospitalized for a extended period...meals? what meals? my father had no clue how to make anything, 2 months of jam on bread 3 times a day...

 

Ignore it all you like, but the story clearly shows the Principal dropped the ball. He was involved and didnt hold up his end. You pretending not to see this doesnt make it go away >>>Flaimbait removed<<<

 

The policy was wrong from the beginning. Winstons decided to throw away meals and not feed children. The Principal's role was only about low or late accounts. He/she could have sent the letters but the wrong doing was still the responsibility of Winstons.

 

no, they weren't!

 

I believe the word was "Whitsons", (as some other poster reminded me), leave Mr Churchill out of this.

 

From the Fox "reporting" in the OP. Where are you getting your nonsense?

 

How do you blame the parents when the Winstons' policy is to not feed the children? I do not care what the parent did wrong. Winstons let these children go hungry for the rest of the school day. Winstons throw away good food.

Don't punish children for parents mistakes.

 

And they will once your party goes away.

 

You begin by saying don't blame the parents.

And in just three sentences you forget that arguement and end by saying don't blame students for the mistakes of the parents.
