Anthony, and Project 2025 would stop federal funding of schools, including Head Start and school lunches. So states and local school systems have to make sure that children aren’t too hungry to learn. Since Texas’ school systems don’t have enough money to hire trained teachers (school systems in Europe pay their teachers as much as they pay engineers), where are they going to find the money for free school breakfasts and lunches?

Mary, that's the point; cruelty is the point. Republicans in Texas and in most other places are OK with keeping poor people poor and children suffering. They can blame them for whatever the issue of the day is: crime, laziness, being takers, and on and on. People who have been well-educated and prepared for the world don't need to harm others which is why I wonder about what is going on in the schools Republicans in power came from and how they didn't learn to be better people.
