Colorado Lunch Lady Fired for Giving Kids Free Meals Says She’d Do It Again http://ift.tt/1JoLWZu

from the article:

…“I would have kids start crying when I told them they didn’t have money in their account because they were terrified of getting the cheese sandwich.”

The district’s policy is to give a student a hot meal and charge the parent’s account the first three times they forget lunch money, communications director Tustin Amole told ABC News today. The fourth time, the student is given a cheese sandwich – a single slice of cheese on a hamburger bun – and a milk.

…Curry felt she could not stand by and keep letting it happen.

“It’s not nutrition. It’s not healthy,” she said. “It’s wrong on so many levels, and I hated to see food go to waste. I hated to see food thrown away that could’ve been given to these children that are hungry.”

Curry was supposed to take the students’ food, throw it away and replace it with the cheese sandwich and milk if a student had exceeded the $7.60 debt limit, she said. Instead, she would cancel the transaction and remind the student to bring their lunch money.

Curry acknowledged that her actions went against the district’s policy and when asked why she did it, Curry said, “Because it was the right thing to do and sometimes doing what is right is not what is easy.”

once again, under capitalism, noncompliance with immoral rules means the employee loses her livelihood. and less children have food.

This woman is a hero.

I wanna know what heartless ass snitched on her so I can glare at them for the rest of their days.

The nutrition at our schools is so fucked up.

funny story

funnystories:

i was really awkward when i was little, so i got picked on a lot. by my older brothers, by bullies at school, by the kids next door. i didn’t mind too much, cause i was little, but after a while my parents got tired of it, so they put me in martial arts classes so i could start leaning self defense. after I was in there for a year or so, i started to get some confidence, and start sticking up for myself, and it worked. everyone stopped picking on me (except my brothers, but you can’t win ‘em all), anyway, i loved it. i kept taking different self defense classes all the way through middle school and high school and honestly, I was getting pretty good. 

then, my freshmen year of college i started dating this guy who was twice my size (i’m pretty small though) and when i told him i had taken those classes, he started pressuring me to show him what I knew. i refused, and he let it go pretty easily. but about a week later, he rushed at me out of nowhere, and in a moment of sheer panic i did a kind of leg sweep thingy, and slammed his face into my knee.
he fell on the floor, gushing blood, and laughing like crazy. once the shock of what had happened wore off, i started laughing too. had I really just broken my boyfriends face?!? i helped him off the floor, and helped him clean up, as he explained what i already knew, he hadn’t believed me, but i changed that. we’re married now, and he likes to tell the story of how he fell in love when I gave his first broken nose
