Me: oh, certainly that's satire!
Also me: it's......

n...not......
.....satire?? o_o
No it isn't, and apparently it's actually. Real headline. And when I went to read a little more about it, the republican study committee did release a 2024 budget proposal eliminating free lunches (among other things).
Even if it is satire, we’ve heard them attack school lunches before. A thing must be semi-plausible to trick people. They want to destroy public schools and this will be in their playbook at least locally in some districts.
