this isn’t new… i was denied school lunches more than once because we didn’t have money. that i understood as a kid, no money no food. but when there was ‘snack time’ everyday and sometimes my friends would get in trouble for sharing with me when they felt pity. that i never understood, and it just felt so mean.
My favorite is when they’re like, “We would never deny a child a lunch just because they don’t have money! We gave them two slices of bread with a slice of cheese in the middle!”
That’s just fucked. I don’t understand how adults could treat children that way. “No money? Well, as a child, that’s obviously your fault, so get fucked and go hungry.”
