School Food

How is not feeding children at school part of the religious party's platform? I'm guessing school lunches are one of the first things missions do when they start building up the infrastructure in a third world village. But we can't have everyone chip in to do it here?

Can you imagine Jesus on a picket line with a megaphone demanding that we stop paying for school lunches?

I'm not sure the devil exists, but if he does, I know in whose heart he resides.

Narrator: I'm here talking to folks who have turned out to oppose the city council's vote on paying for school lunches throughout the cities 9 school districts. Mr. Christ is the son of a local carpenter and taxpayer, and is concerned that his dad's money is being poorly allocated. Mr. Christ?

J. Christ: It's not that we couldn't afford this, either personally or as a society. It's just that the implementation is problematic. Not all of the children need free food, and we don't want kids just eating for free because they can. We need to teach these kids from a young age that eating is a privilege for those who can afford it. If you can't afford it, we have programs for those kids, but they have to prove they're poor and recognize it's charity that they haven't earned.
