. this is rotten to the core. i m talking about lunch shaming. maybe you ve heard it. it s school publicing harassing students as parents have not paid their lunch bill. sometimes the schools withhold lunch from the children. they re giving them to establish new policies for helping children who can not afford for their food. half ol school districts engage in some form of lunch shaming. in some california school districts like los angeles, a student who can t pay gets half a cheese sandwich. this follows a wave of stories where students got stamped, called out or forced to clean lunch tables just to get a lunch at school. children don t have enough money for their food or parents forget to pay. then their child s tray gets dumped in the trash right in front of their friends.
