How about organizing a fund raiser to pay for them? When did empathy require tax dollars? Get the people involved who would like to see these in the schools.

Yet kids still go to school hungry. It is not the kids' fault, it is the parents responsibility though.

It is embarrassing as hell to go to school dirty and disheveled. And hungry and poor.

I am not opposed to these solutions to these problems but one of the main problems in many (but not all) cases, poor parenting, never gets well addressed. Slippery slope. You can have good parents you can have loving parents and if you are lucky, you have two good and loving parents. A lot of these kids simply don't.

Wayne will say it is Conservative's fault.
