Ya, that'll teach children not to be poor. Oy.

My God, you mean people have to work for their food? What kind of a lesson is that to teach children? Oh, the humanity!

When I was in school, there were poor kids who washed dishes for their lunch. They, themselves, applied for the jobs in the cafeteria. Some of them took up the lunch money, too. Dishwashing wasn't the only job.

I, myself, worked in the office one period a day. But that was just for glory and not for pay.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

I volunteered to work in the cafeteria but didn't get compensation. Can I sue for backwages?

Never forget

The poor don't suffer enough. If they don't suffer they will never want to be wealthy

I always found that requiriring them to beg was more demeaning

Another incentive to get out of poverty

Making children work for their food because their PARENTS are poor is like the old debtor's prison system where children would be incarcerated along with the parents. Punishing the kid for the short-comings of their parents isn't fair. And when ever some dingus proposes this kind of thing we loose a lot of credibility trying to get devloping nations to not use child-labor.

Will work for food?

I really think that if you humiliate these poor kids they won't want to be deadbeats like their parents

Poverty is not something they should be proud of

Teachers should point out who the poor kids are every day

Rich kids don't have to work. They already suffer from Affluenza. They have so much money they don't know right from wrong. Imagine the difficulty of being confined to a $450,000 a year country club simply because you didn't know what you were doing and 4 people died. It's just not fair.

Maybe the poor kids can do menial chores for the rich kids to earn their lunch

I'm thinking shine their shoes or something

 

[whitehall]

Where would the radical left be without Media Matters? In the brave new socialist world that the left envisions it will be the teachers who sweep the floors while the kids lay bricks or dig ditches.

Hey Tommy!

Its almost lunchtime.....Go get your shinebox

 

[HenryBHough]

Please be careful.

Liberals turn livid when one uses the word "shine" in ANY context.

Something that just occured to me is conservatives seem to have a big problem with children getting a free meal at school. They should work for their food. Ok fine. Then why if conservatives are also big into Christmas they don't have any problems with that? Santa is the very definition of getting stuff for nothing. Don't hear any conservative (interested in getting more than 1 vote) whining about Santa being socialist now dya.

 

[HenryBHough]

Santa?

Socialist?

Really? On your planet who does Santa steal from to redistribute?

You must have missed some of the conservative talking points when Obama won a second term. Romney could not beat Santa! In other words Obama won because of the free stuff he gives away.

How much does he pay his elves?

Minor children shouldn’t be compelled to ‘work’ for anything, food in particular. The notion is reprehensible.

True.

It’s also un-Constitutional.
