The entire nation was saddened when it was revealed that school officials in Utah took away the lunches of about 70 poor school children and tossed those lunches in the garbage. Their reason? Because the parents of those children were too poor. School’s accounting showed that the parents had not pay the monthly stipend for their kids to continue eating school lunches.
Yes, everyone was outraged. Everyone that is, except some Republicans.
Below is a conversation between a twitter user @GammaRae206 and the Republican official for Utah, State Senator Todd Weiler. It was GammaRae206’s position that today’s Republican party and their attitudes towards the poor contributed to the school officials taking such horrific steps against innocent school children. GammaRae206 wanted to engage in a discussion with the Senator to see what could be done to avoid such incidents from happening again in the future. Instead, GammaRae206 was met with a hardened, insensitive attitude, unexpected of the State Senator… even a Republican State Senator.
