        Everyone’s. Because they’re children.

            Children aren’t bourgeoisie, they’re children.

                Who cares about history? This is 2023. People in history would disagree with people today about slavery and marital rape too. Should we reconsider allowing those things?

                  Spicy take incoming, “history has nothing to teach us”

                    Okay, what does history have to teach us about feeding children? When does history say “don’t feed children?” Go for it.

        Well… it’s okay if you don’t want the job. Because I wouldn’t let you near any kids I might have if you actually have to ask that in context of free meals for kids whose only meal comes at school.

          I care for my children. Who do you think should be doing it?

            It’s this precise lack of empathy that, in my eyes, disqualifies you from caring for other’s kids.

            I mean, what kind of person says “we shouldn’t feed starving kids”? Like seriously. That’s what you’re arguing here.

            You take care of your own? Congratulations. Want a participation trophy? I think I can spare a bottle cap or something. Too bad they’re no longer shiny…

              I am fine with “feeding starving children”. It’s feeding the children of wealthy people that I bridle at

              What makes you think I want praise for raising my kids? It’s my job. That’s my point

                Yes. Fuck over starving not-rich-kids whose only meal of the day comes from free school lunch programs- because a rich kid “might” get a free lunch.

                * golf clap * Impressive display of empathy there. Oh and by the way… you’re generally wrong about whose getting free lunches. So you’re fucking starving kids over … because of propaganda.

                  I couldn’t give a flying fuck who thinks I’m empathetic.

                  Virtue signalling may be your bag (I’m sure you hold all the correct opinions), but I don’t care.

                  Not a rich kid “might get a school lunch”, you ignoramus. The majority of people don’t need free lunches why are we buying them for them.

        People. Society really.

        What’s the old adage? It takes a village to raise a child?

        As a father of a young child, there is no fucking way that one or two parents can meet all of the child’s development needs. You need everything from Farmers to grow food, teachers to teach, doctors to medicine, grandparents to grandparent, and they need peers and other people to interact with. Every one of those people plays a role, some more important than others.

          Ok, parents and grandparents granted, but I don’t think farmers are raising children. I don’t really want teachers raising my children I want them to teach my children.

          I think the village to raise a child adage is very much in the dustbin. Once upon a time that would literally be the case and the food would also come from the farmers of the village so it would be quite a different dynamic.

          I wish there was more of a community and we could jointly aid in the support of children certainly where I live that is not the case.

          Ultimately it is the parent’s job to raise the children, and it’s the parents job to select who the child comes in contact with.

            And if the parents are unable to raise the children properly, then the children should just starve?

            As a parent of a young child, you’re completely delusional if you think parents are in complete control of every person that a child comes into contact with.

            Just at my kids school there are probably 250 staff members including teachers and administrative staff who come into contact with the kids on a daily basis. I have zero influence on that!

            This doesn’t even touch on mass media in the internet which have a huge impact on not just children, but people like yourself. You yourself are interacting with people on the internet whom you know nothing about.
