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.

I find it interesting that you think you know what others are feeling better than they do?
I'm glad you asked.
To answer your question, no you do not find it interesting, you find it discomforting.
It annoys you that you lack the self-control to prevent others from reading you so clearly.
I'll give you a pointer though, maybe it will help. When you use words like "libtard" its like a spotlight on your id.

Apparently a professional troll has better empathetic skills than our friends on the left fringe.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Double down on what, exactly?
All I see here is you repeating "no I'm not!" with different words.

But he used a quote!! It was more elaborate than "no I'm not!", it was a virtue signal to the rest of his fellow Morloks to let them know they should simply dismiss anything further you might say and prepare their cauldrons for your delectable Eloi meats.
