Connecticut lawmakers to debate bill prohibiting shaming over school lunch debtThe bill also allows school districts to accept philanthropic or private donations to cover the cost of unpaid bills. Somehow these same families are finding money for sneakers, cell phones, internet, Netflix etc. Why would they bother paying for something that they can get someone else to pay for? Bad precedent Kid has a packed lunch from home & decides it wants a school lunch instead. Parent is shamed into paying a bill they didn't know existed (or authorized). No different than someone using credit card w/o permission. Just another scheme to keep you poor. That doesn't make sense? Shame is a word without essence and could be replaced with a variety of other terms.
