Just for (Monte's) clarification, can/do elementary schools in some US states ban students from taking their own homemade lunch with them to school?

And was this school in particular one who either prevented students from doing that, or did it both allow home-brought lunch as well have its own pre-paid lunch system?
From the link posted
The district underwrote free lunches for four elementary and middle schools during the 2018-19 year, and WNEP-TV said school officials suspect some parents did not pay their lunch bills as a form of protest
No mention of whether you could take your own food in.

Even in the socialist state of Great Britain, we make parents pay for feeding their kids at school.
What next? Fife going to be calling for free healthcare?

The article is getting its knickers in a twist over this statement in a letter sent to parents
"You can be sent to dependency court for neglecting your child's right to food. The result may be your child being taken from your home and placed in foster care,"
After being fact-checked it was found that welfare depts don't work like that and the school's lawyer dialed it back to
"Hopefully, that gets their attention and it certainly did, didn't it? I mean, if you think about it, you're here this morning because some parents cried foul because he or she doesn't want to pay a debt attributed to feeding their kids. How shameful,"
If Trump had done that Capps would be telling us how it was all some kind of Art of the Deal 4d chess move to get the $20 grand being withheld.

Capps is a dug addicted moron. It's easy to cut a confused pothead down at the knees, but that has fuck all to do with what Fife and I have said here.

We need the answer to Bjorn's question.
If this is parents withholding payment because they don't like the school giving free lunches to the poorer students it's a very different story from schools charging too much and parents not making alternative arrangements to feed their kids.

The government schools are nothing but a graft/jobs program for democratic party voter blocs (public employees). They steal money from tax payers and then fail to deliver even a modest return on the public expenditures.

Meanwhile, patents cannot afford to send their children to a real school because the government racket is plundering their income to the tune of many thousands of dollars per month. Nobody consents to that.

Then when parents cannot afford to pay even more money for the shit food, or refuse to pay those bandits one more dime, those government banditos threaten to steal children too if they do not get paid.

And you defend that.


Furthermore, I think you lost out on an important aspect of freeloading: consent. A freeloader choses to do this. A guy who hides money in his sock and chooses not to inform his armed robber that there is more money to be robbed is not a freeloader. He did not choose to be a robbery victim. He just refused to make the robbery easy.

Nope, never did. I just remarked that in different circumstances it would be called 4d chess.

If you don't know the answer you could just say that rather than going off on another tedious monologue about graft and government banditry.
