but because the republiQans will use it as a precedent to stop serving school lunches to the kids who don't have food at home.

And yes, there are a lot of those. I worked in an area where we used to have to pack backpacks of food for vacations so our kids would have something to eat. We began doing that when we noticed that some slightly bigger kids were stealing food and giving it to the little kids in their families.

This kid should have been barred at the door and not allowed entry.
