What is “lunch shaming?” It happens when a child can’t pay a school lunch bill.
In Alabama, a child short on funds was stamped on the arm with “I Need Lunch Money.” In some schools, children are forced to clean cafeteria tables in front of their peers to pay the debt. Other schools require cafeteria workers to take a child’s hot food and throw it in the trash if he doesn’t have the money to pay for it.
In what its supporters say is the first such legislation in the country, New Mexico has outlawed shaming children whose parents are behind on school lunch payments.

Please, show me the law that forces people to procreate.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Hello?
Its a law of nature. Procreation is the single defining principle of life.
There is literally no force greater in the human experience.
Someone who thinks defying the most fundamental biological drive is a plausible option for anything is so woefully out of touch with what it means to be alive that his own humanity is in doubt.
Skynet, is that you?

And I'm pretty sure the Republicans didn't write that law.

You are right. They did not.
Instead the GOP passed the punitive laws that apply to people who are the result of procreation.

Clearly you have never spent time with a woman who is addicted to Sex In The City. Now that is a force to be reckoned with.
