Every day there are more reports of how children are denied a school lunch due to lack of funds for that student. These problems cause the student not only to go hungry at that time, but also to be labeled by their peers with a stigma no child should or could be able to understand fully on how to deal with it positively.
The way we can end this is to have at least a limited menu freely available to all students in all US public schools. Have extra items at a cost if need be, but provide at the very least a nourishing meal for all our children in the US.
