They've "gone too far" telling schools to feed all hungry children? It boggles my mind that these people can't see they're the bad guys.
They're going full retard with the bigotry thing, aren't they?
So they're not even trying to pretend to hide it. They are the party of "Screw you if you don't fit my mold of what people ought to be"
I feel like it’s been a long while now since they tried to hide it.
Everybody's outraged at those AGs and I'm out here dumbfounded as a non-American wondering.. your administration had to literally put a distinct rule in place that mandated schools to treat all kids equally? Like, such a thing had to be explicitly written down and wasn't already covered by constitutional human rights?? God damn
The worse part is there's already plenty of Republicans who think free lunch for kids who can't afford it is a bridge too far.
They have upgraded to full on fascism. Starting up culture wars, blasting propaganda to convince the country that a small group of a protected class is the root of all US problems. I’m tired of history being made in my lifetime.
And the worst part is the only progress we may see for the rest of our lives is getting back to where we were before facism took over. America is shit.
Dan Savage pointed out in his podcast yesterday that in interwar Berlin, lgbtq-whatever-else-we-add-now people were more free than any time since probably ancient Rome before the Christian period.
It took about 3 years of Hitler in power to start shipping those people off to the camps. They still haven't really recovered.
Jesus Rollerblading Christ- these assholes would step on a child with leukemia just for a better perch to spit on LGBTQ kids.
This is absolutely disgusting. All kids no matter what should get free meals at school.
There's so many questions I have for how it'd work. But I can totally see some asshat using it as an excuse to deny some child who has no idea yet free lunch.
Twenty-two Republican state attorneys general are suing the Biden administration for requiring schools that accept federal funds for free lunch programs to comply with gender and sex non-discrimination rules. To put it plainly: These 22 state attorneys generals seem to think schools should be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ kids who use the Department of Agriculture’s free lunch programs.
They want the money, but only to spend on their in-group. Dept of Ag needs to send them boxes with "thoughts and prayers" instead of money.
Good ol Christian values.
