The school to prison pipeline starts with making kids feel hopeless.

There is a reason why Trump and his fellow traitors are investing in third party prison administration.

No. Don't look at actual state prisons ... not those. They are investing in fast setup detention facilities, presumably for ICE. Doesn't Trump seem way too interested in prisons all of a sudden?

Ain't it funny how the factory doors close

Around the time that school doors close

Around the time that a hundred thousand jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

Schools have larger class sizes, a lack of supplies, they've integrated mentally challenged people into standard grades which distrupts the entire class. School lunches is only the tip of the problem.

Even looking at this selfishly, those kids are going to be adults, members of society. The better we set them up for success, the better our communities can be. This has got to be one of the cheapest investments in fighting crime and poverty.

If kids are hungry at school, that means they haven't earned their food yet.

If they worked in the mines, they could at least afford lunch.

Great argument for lowering the age limit for work on kids, amirite?

Indeed! Why's there a limit in stone countries in the first place?
