Idaho has decided not to participate in a federal program that would have provided $14.8 million to feed low-income students during the summer, a decision that impacts about 123,000 children in need, according to the Food Research and Action Center.
Republicans are pro starving children
Once birthed? Promptly forgotten.
They’re pro-child labour, pro-forced birth. See the pattern? They love sslavery so much, they’re bringing it back in drips. And Dems aren’t doing enough.
Pro life until birth.
Life begins at conception, and ends at birth
Sounds like government dysfunction rather than a conscious policy decision.
It’s unclear who ultimately decided Idaho would reject the funding and why. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, one of two agencies that would have had to implement P-EBT, pinned the decision on the Idaho State Department of Education. The Department of Education blames the administration of former Superintendent Sherri Ybarra, who was voted out last year. Ybarra did not respond to requests for comment.
Idaho used these funds before, but even then limited it to kids under 6 years because anything more was too hard to administer (my summary).
Government inaction influenced by coservative christianss who equate feeding hungry children ith communism, and geared to creating a desperate labour pool of child workers.
@xuxebiko Their GOP members likely weren’t able to find a way to embezzle it easily enough.
Could be. Or may be they want to create a labour pool of desperate & hungry children.
or maybe both.
because people have an innate ability to be pricks to people they are not in direct contact with
“people” = republicans.
There are many republicans that were against gay rights until a family member comes out as gay. They lack the ability for empathy for other people.
Government incompetence is very much part of the plan and in no way rules out malice.
Idaho gop investing in 123,000 tiny bootstraps to give to the kiddos…
Readying children for child labour
