Every member of the gop shrieks out in horror as the government attempts to help children.   Good on Michigan, and other states that pursue this avenue of support for the future.
Ahhh I already see the backlash.
Republicans: “Human life is so precious, we must protect it at all costs”
Also Republicans: “Feeding kids??? We don’t want to pay for that”🤬🤬🤬 >

The republicans only care about the fetus, they don’t care about the child after it’s born. Duh. It’s very logical?….?…? 🤔😐 >

They Don't really care about the fetus either.
Not like they are lining up to offer quality pre-natal health care...
They care about controlling women. >

Don't forget that they're also strongly against providing information and services to young women to help people who may not be in a position to take care of a child prevent getting pregnant in the first place. >

As a person who never plans of having kids, I wholeheartedly support free breakfast and lunch for kids in grade school through high school. Beyond the humanitarian reasons, it could probably save this country in the long run.
Kids would do better in school if they were not hungry, and not fold insecure for at least 2 of 3 meals out of the day. Hypothetically this should lead to better educated and better contributing kids entering the economy one day. Also adequate nutrition in the developmental years lays the foundation for a person’s health the rest of their life (at least that is what I got from the Huber,an Lab podcast that covered it). So feeding kids early might save on medical costs in the long run. >

Some people don't want that, I regret to say. >

All kids should get free nutritious breakfast and lunch in public schools. >

YES. If my district didn't offer food, some of my kids would have literally starved. Super thankful we try to take care of these kiddos. >

YES. In my wife's classroom, the students are always too hungry to do their work. My wife and I spend hundreds of dollars each school year bringing in food for them to eat just to get them through the day. >

You and your wife are good people.  Thank you. >

"That's COMMUNISM!" ~ pro-lifers that attended the March for Life rally. >

Getting enough nutritious food is so essential for maintaining a child’s ability to learn, and for brain development itself, that I pray this goes through. >

As a teacher, I can say with authority you are absolutely correct. I actually worked at a school that experimented with universal breakfast and lunch for students (before the state made it law) and I saw a massive difference in students’ attention in class. 
Hey guess what, I’m a better worker and learner when I’m not hungry too! >

Oh man wait until the party of Christ hears about this, they’re gonna be furious.
