GOP Congressman Suggests Kids Work at McDonald’s Instead of Getting Free School Lunch
A temporary freeze on nearly all federal grants and loans, ordered by the Trump administration, jeopardizes numerous programs, including school lunch initiatives. Georgia Representative Rich McCormick controversially suggested that children work at fast-food restaurants instead of relying on these programs, arguing that it teaches valuable work ethic. This statement sparked outrage, with critics highlighting the absurdity of expecting young children to support themselves. The funding freeze faces legal challenges, though the president cannot unilaterally eliminate congressionally approved funding.
