Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's not that that doesn't occur, but currently it occurs in a small portion of the many school districts in America and the prominent coverage of these is due to the outrageousness of it happening anywhere at all. When that becomes actually widespread the picture is unfathomably worse than it is now.

Currently 8 out of 50 states provide free school lunches.

Universally yeah, but nearly all states still have a subsidy that guarantees breakfast and/or lunch to the poorest students.
