How does your contribution to the free school lunch program help with the stigmatization of the children receiving said free lunch?
because all kids would receive free lunches therefore removing any and all stigma that is inherently present right now.

My bad. I missed the word "all".

Still- the only way it would remove the stigmatization is if you made it mandatory for all kids to eat the free food. You wanna make it mandatory for kids to eat the food?

There is no stigma now. Kids don't pay for lunches like we did growing up. Instead they all have a PIN number they enter. If you are a kid who has to pay for lunches, the amount of that lunch is deducted from your lunch account. When the money gets low in that account the parent (that's me) gets a auto phone call from the school saying that their kid's account is low and needs to have some money deposited into it.

Kids on free lunch enter in a PIN number just like everyone else except they actually don't have an account. And from what I understand, oftentimes the kid doesn't even know they are on free lunch.

All kids in the school district my kids attend receive free lunch. My family would not qualify otherwise, so we appreciate the savings.
