It gets worse. Their "apology" amounts to, "Sure, it sounds shitty, but..."

We understand this post lacked empathy. We are sorry for the way the message was communicated. The wording lacked empathy and sensitivity for students who have low or negative meal account balances. We work very hard to provide school lunches to students by removing barriers and eliminating the stigma associated with the lunch assistance program. This post inadvertently sent the message that we would embarrass students or turn them away for an issue outside their control. The message fell short of our values as a district and we sincerely apologize.

The post was intended to communicate to Donovan parents how several district-wide rules apply to a la carte items purchased in the cafeteria. These rules are not new. Students who have a negative balance on their account are not turned away; they are provided a meal. Students are not allowed to purchase a la carte items if they have a negative balance in their meal account. Ice cream is an a la carte item. Therefore, if students have a negative balance on their meal account, they are not allowed to purchase ice cream. It is also important to note that we do not accept cash at our cafeteria registers. We also do not permit students to purchase food for their classmates without prior parent permission.

We sincerely apologize for the way this information was communicated.

That might be... okay... for a normal lunch day. But not on fucking ice cream day. Still the assholes.

Children sharing and having fun at school is communist brainwashing. We ain't gonna do that in America anymore. Children must learn that only the strongest can triumph. School needs to prepare them for the cruel, thankless real world where they must harden their heart or perish.

Incredible. You can see from the response they're aware this could have the effect of singling out / embarrassing students for coming from a poor family but they're going to do it anyway.

They did that in my day, and that was the 90s.

Funnily enough, all a la carte items, ie. junk food, could only be purchased with cash.

Money on the account couldnt be wasted on that kind of thing. (though I can see the point of this one)

People like this should not only be banned from any form of official authority for a minimum of 20 years, they should also be thrown in prison for this shit. I have zero tolerance for anyone who uses food to shame children. It's a disgrace to our "great" nation that we even charge for school food in the first place.

Yeah, it's messed up. And I understand that probably in most cases it's not even out of any kind of malice but a side effect of these schools being underfunded. But either way it reinforces to these kids the idea that they are somehow lesser than other kids because they were born poor.

i also had it in the 90s, basically the parents deposited money at the cafeteria and together with the receipts at the end of the month, it made it easy to track what your kids ate(if you needed to complement their intake) and liked to eat.

the food wasn't free because some kids liked bringing food instead.

The most important lesson I ever learned as kid was to just reach in and take what I wanted. No one notices. Cut the line, get the good stuff, sit where you want. A rule without enforcement is an illusion.

Anytime someone refers to some bullshit rules or policies that are in place, I just want to snap their wrists. That's seriously the most goody two-shoes, bitch made ass response to criticism or backlash ever. Either admit you're wrong or don't make the mistake of saying stupid shit to begin with.

And yeah it's nice that someone raised money to pay off all the accounts with debt, but that's only fixing part of the problem. The next problem that needs fixing is the shit heels that not only posted the original, but the half-assed "apology" as well.

That is correct. If the word following "an" starts with a vowel, the word "an" is used. If the word following "a" starts with a consonant then "a" is used.

They even threw in that little snippet all PR statements that shithole companies use when they avert blame. "We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication." It's our fault for misunderstanding. But the benevolent, gracious, DIVINE company will take the responsibility for 'our' misunderstanding.

I don't do business with any company that uses that canned line.

The unfortunate truth is that they are lesser, or at least will be treated as such, because they were born poor. Its not right or fair, but it is the way the world works.
