An article in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer states: “Fewer students will be
eating free breakfast and lunch in summer school this year because [of]
budget troubles…That means parents will have to scramble to feed
children – many of them low-income – who are accustomed to free
school meals but will not receive them.”
Isn’t that just wonderful. Not only are Governor Corbett and the Republicans in the
Pennsylvania House making it harder to get food stamps, they’ve starved
the Philadelphia school system so drastically that many children there won’t be
able to get meals they’ve depended during summer school. Other agencies funded by
the Federal government are planning on setting up what they are calling
“feeding sites” to help.
Feeding sites! Like the children are animals or something. Nice.
