In this case it excludes that this was an isolated district, the policy was rapidly corrected after this became public, and it’s a story from over half a decade ago. It also leaves out how this was universally objected to, and it misrepresents the actual contents of the letter:
It warned that the parents could be taken to Dependency Court as a result of failing to send their child to school without either money or food.
“If you are taken to Dependency Court, the result may be your child being removed from your home and placed in foster care,” the letter read.
which was pointedly that if you cant feed your kid, you may have to prove you can safely care for them. A shit situation yes, but it was not “pay your lunch debt or we’ll take your kid away”.
Yeah, this headline being reposted is pushing a narrative. And man you know what, in my experience the people that dismiss other users because of their instance are generally the problem. Othering people is pretty much always bad.
What narrative exactly are you accusing people of feeding? The Narrative that school lunch debt is bad? You don’t like that narrative?
Its always the .world users I swear.

They don’t want to understand 🤣
Asking ‘what narrative’ on a late stage capital post isn’t in good faith. They are trolling you.
You know, you make a good point. Thank you!
