1 in 7 kids in the US is food insecure. Often kids will skip free school lunch because of stigma that comes from other kids criticizing them.

Sounds like the repugs in Waukesha backpedalled. Remember not a single republican voted for the American Rescue Plan that will help reduce child poverty. Repugs rally for the fetus but don't give a shit once they are born.
