Letter: Feed our children
(Trent Nelson | Tribune file photo) Students at Copperview Elementary in Midvale line up for breakfast at the start of class, March 3, 2015.
Our state senators want to deny children free breakfast at school. There are several reasons I can think of for objecting to their rationale.
Children cannot control their environment and how their parents spend money. School districts should not have to take money from their already underfunded budget and the federal government is going to reimburse the state. By doing it through the state it would guarantee all our children get to eat. Lastly, it is the right thing to do.
