When I was a kid, we packed our own lunches to school. Apparently, nobody knows how to do that any more.
Up to 40 kids at Uintah Elementary in Salt Lake City picked up their lunches Tuesday, then watched as the meals were taken and thrown away because of outstanding balances on their accounts — a move that shocked and angered parents.
Well alrighty then; if you're supposed to pay for your kid's school lunch, you need to keep current on the bill - or at least make arrangements. But on the other hand, it's a bit over the top to strong-arm the kids and throw away their lunches over something that's obviously not their fault; this idiocy's right up there with expelling a kid for chewing his sandwich into a shape that may (or may not) resemble a gun.
Someone (or someones) clearly need to lose employment over this; they're obviously overpaid morons. But naturally, down in the comments following the story, somebody has to make it all about Republicans. It's not that such folks want to be stupid, they just cain't hep theyselfs.
