“The Wyoming Valley West School District Board of Directors sincerely apologises for the tone of the letter that was sent regarding lunch debt. It wasn’t the intention of the district to harm or inconvenience any of the families of our school district,” the school said in an “apology letter” on its website.

The fuck it wasn’t

Earlier this week Bernie Sanders called for an end to “school lunch debt”. The senator, and one of the Democrat candidates for president, tweeted that it “should not exist in the wealthiest country in the history of the world” and pledged to “provide year-round, free universal school meals” if he won the White House.

LOL, imagine thinking Democrats would nominate someone standing on a “let’s feed poor people’s kids” platform. Was never going to happen.

  I got kicked off free lunch when my mom married a rich guy. I didn’t eat lunch, or breakfast from 6-11th grade. I’d start to feel sick during the last couple hours of class.

  That’s a statement in itself really. Just another one for the history books

The fact that they refused to accept the donations before the public backlash says everything. I guess people don’t like it when you mess with their orphan-crushing machine?
