re: Buy your own school supplies

This sounds like a bull shite charity that allows people to avoid decisions like, "Should I forgo the PS4 game and buy school supplies?" It's like the morbidly obese "food insecure" who show up at the local food bank.

I have a friend that works in a school that is basically all free and reduced lunch students. They have more backpacks to give away every year than they have kids to take them.

Some of it is because the backpacks are generic type backpacks and even the kids in poverty want to pick out their own backpacks.

But we don’t have an entitlement problem.
