It's standard policy for black and hispanic parents to tell their kids to NOT pay for lunch and the stupid white people will let them eat free.

A group Massachusetts parents are outraged and at least one worker has been placed on administrative leave after about 25 students Robert J. Coelho Middle School in Attleboro were forced to throw away their lunches over concerns that they could not pay for the food.

Parents said that some students cried and went home hungry.

School officials told The Sun Chronicle that Whitson’s, the contractor responsible for providing lunches, made the decision to stop students from eating their lunch if there was not enough credit in the student’s pre-paid account or they were not able to provide cash for the meal.

Superintendent Pia Durkin on Wednesday said that the on-site director had been placed on administrative leave and Whitson’s had been instructed not to deny lunch to any student in the future.

I don't understand why they were getting lunches for free in the first place. At our elementary school, if you didn't bring a lunch, and weren't on the free lunch program, they gave you a peanut butter sandwich and water. I think that's fair. Of course, I do think the free lunch program is anything but fair. My son was the only one in his class not on the program. Any idea how difficult it is to explain to a severely autistic child why he doesn't get a hot lunch when everyone else in his class does?

"Fortunately?" most of those hot lunches were terrible anyway, and his homemade lunch was much better.

Isn't the free lunch program income based?

That is total horse shit.

Who knows and who cares.? It's all done on the honor system anyway. The minority parents just say they don't have the money (cause they spend it on drugs and booze) and the school takes their word and feeds their kids for free while the white kids pay.

That is total horse shit.

What's horse shit is forcing some kids to pay but not others. It all comes down to race - the white kids have to pay. And libs call that equal treatment!!!

Yes, it is. It's also a big waste. It would be cheaper for the schools to provide a sandwich, some vegetables sticks, fruit and a drink to every student than it is to provide hot lunches to those who "can't" pay for it. We give foodstamps to families with low income, why do we also have to buy hot lunches for their kids?

Do you know, they wouldn't even allow me to send something to school that could be microwaved for my son so he could have a hot lunch too? Now I'm not saying they should do that for all the kids, but when it's the only kid in the class not on the hot lunch program????

I'd be ok with what you said, no hot lunches for anyone. As far as the microwave the teachers just don't want the kids using it.

He's low functioning, the teacher would have had to microwave it for him anyway.

I don't have a problem with it, but the teachers mentality is if they open the microwave to a student every other kid will want to use it.

If you go to school, your parents are expected to send you with lunch. If you can't afford to send your kids with lunch, then you need to visit the welfare office, or look for a job so you can afford food for your kids.

Not all schools. Some schools put all the students on the free lunch program because those that really can't afford (or don't want to pay for) the school lunches would feel bad.
