In case you already didn't know, people on FOX news sure love hungry childrenquote:A Fox News guest on Thursday argued that hungry students would have a “teaching moment” if they were refused access in the cafeteria line to school lunches because their parents hadn’t properly filled out the right paperwork.

The kids aren't going to be punished. Just starved for things completely outside of their control to teach them a lesson.

quote:“Again, I think it is misleading that the kids are going to be punished,” Kersting replied. “We have more food than any other nation. You know, no kid is going to starve. You know, if one day a kid doesn’t have lunch, right, maybe that’s a teaching moment when that kid doesn’t have lunch. That may sound harsh saying that, but we’ve got to get people to start being responsible for themselves.” Fox News: Where an abundance of food means we need to deny children food to teach them a valuable lesson about paperwork.

I'm sure the lesson those kids learn after authority figures make them needlessly hungry because someone outside their control fails to fill out the right paperwork will be to respect that authority unconditionally.

Most parents don't have deep fryers and access to frozen food vendors at home. How are they going to get their daily recommended servings of vegetables if they don't have french fries to get ketchup into their greasy gullets?

Man, maybe it's because my mother grew up hungry, or some of my friends when I was younger sometimes didn't know where they would get their next meal from, but I just can't wrap my head around anyone opposed to feeding school children who need it. I mean even if they don't literally starve to death, how are they supposed to focus on their lessons if they haven't had anything to eat so far that day? It just seems so ignorant and hateful. Not to mention that it's focused on the most vulnerable subset of an already vulnerable group of people.

Because they've never been hungry and don't understand it. It's a total lack of empathy and treating hunger like being sent to their room for not doing chores.

You nailed it right there. Conservatives literally cannot imagine things like being hungry, being discriminated against for some reason or another, or not being able to land a job because that's never happened to them and because of there life experiences they don't believe it could ever happen to anyone.

I think there are (a few) conservatives who know what's it like to be hungry, but their experience has turned them into raging assholes who learned the wrong lessons from it. "I was hungry and made it, so gently caress all y'all", rather than "this is not a situation we should allow anyone else to go through in the future without a serious attempt to solve it"

That's one way to piss off the right, nominate "Big Sis" to the SCOTUS. Drudge is already flipping out and I can only guess how much Alex Jones is going to eat this up.

Accidentally posted this in the GOP thread but meant to post it here:BiggerBoat posted:Rush was going on again today about his Rush Revere book, bitching about how, in spite of "Amazon glitches" and whatever else, that his audience "rocketed it to #1 bestseller even before it came out." I have no reason to doubt him about this, but they've already done the "American History by cartoon" approach and it was called "Schoolhouse Rock."

It's because she's a woman with legitimate power.

Political and self help books game the system a bit. They buy them by the truckload and then give them away on their shows or sell them again at their speaking events or whatever. It's almost meaningless when they hit the best seller lists.
