Cheney is one of the handful of people who probably gets a yessir whenever he says no to a lawful request or order.

I guess Cheney wanted to wait for some time to pass before he finished the job. I started to write "had to wait", but then remembered he's Dick Cheney so probably he could have just finished him during the press conference when he was apologizing for getting shot in the face. Then his widow could have gone up and apologized to Cheney

How much lower can they go? It's already legal for them to not hire a person based on that person being TOO INTELIGENT. They don't hire smart people, they hire average intelligence, those less likely to question anything. What's next? Violent felonies are OK?

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.

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.

IIRC this is the reason behind many of our nationwide food programs. Apparently in WWI, a shocking number of American men were unfit for the draft due to childhood malnutrition.

This is wonderful. Hopefully the rest of the country gets on board.
All kids should be able to eat!
When my daughter was in elementary school (mid 2000's), all the students got free breakfast, snack and lunch. No lunch tickets, no accounts, no forms to fill out. This wasn't true for all of LAUSD elementary schools, I think it was some kind of program they were testing, but from 1st through 5th grade it was in place.
They also had free after school care until 6:00 PM. That was a different program called LA's Best and it sure saved my broke ass at the time!

frankly, it doesnt make sense to not do this. we already pay taxes for them to go to school and punish their parents if they dont, why shouldnt some of those taxes be used to feed them while they are forced to be there?

Because if they're fed, their focused, if they're focused, they can learn and behave better, if they learn and behave better, they can form a community. If they form a community, it means there is importance in the school system, which makes it harder for republicans to dissolve.

I’m old enough to know when lunch was free. We even got a large freshly baked cookie mid-morning. The mid-morning cookie was probably to make sure kids who might have skipped breakfast had something to help them through morning classes. This is to let others know that it wasn’t always like it is today, that concern for children wasn’t a rarity.

Michigan native. Anyone who is against this to me is nothing less than scum. There shouldn't be a single child no matter their race religion or background who can't eat. I don't care about what their family situation is or how xyz their parents are. I will never accept hungry kids.

I have not read the local news about this and they are just focusing on a stimulus check anyway. The 2 years I did not have to pay for school lunches for 3 kids was awesome. I just had to add $40 to lunch accounts yesterday for my 2 high schoolers. I can afford it but it takes away from other things.

So here's what we learned from other articles:
- another student warned the front office about it because he had shown bullets to other students before he shot her
-the teacher warned the office about issues after the phone was taken, the front office said "it's end of day so nothing we can do"
-the parents claimed the child was in a program and was supposed to be in the class with him, but wasn't that day.
-parents claim the gun was locked up...(qustionable).
So basically there was a lot that wasn't done, but there was a lot of warning.

A six year old who tried to choke a teacher and shot another one. It just blows my mind. When I think about what I was up to at 6, that type of behavior didn't even exist in my mind. So much shit must be wrong with that child that I do not even see a way he could be helped.
