“We're reaching 10,000 kids a day at 99 of our 120 schools," said Anthony Tata, Chief Operating Officer of D.C. Public Schools.
That's about 25 percent of the student population. And another big benefit of the after school dinners are that more kids are enrolling in after school programs where they can get some academic help as well.
So the dinners are really serving three purposes - fighting hunger, obesity and offering help with classwork too.
And the best news of all is this is a federally-funded program.
That's the BEST news of all? That I'M paying for them? From womb to the tomb, parents want the government to raise their kids and indoctrinate them with a horrific worldview. This isn't for "health" reasons at all. Its to grow the government's power and control over the next generation and parents are willing to do it.
Does anyone know of a couple who woul go out and buy a puppy and then put it in a kennel for several hours a day, five days a week? Nope. And if they did, I would think someone would call the Animal Control department. But hey, they can do that with their babies and young kids...what they'd NEVER do with a dog! Evolution at its finest.
Scripture instructs Christian parents to love, discipline, and teach their children. When children are at school early enough for breakfast and late enough for dinner, plus all the hours in between, they ARE abdicating their biblical responsibility (I might add that even unbelievers used to understand many of these concepts like mom staying home, discipline and respect taught in the home, personal responsibility, consequences, etc.):
Psa 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Deu 4:10 "Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when the LORD said to me, 'Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.'
Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
2Ti 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Pro 22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
Pro 23:13 Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
Pro 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.
Pro 29:16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.
Pro 29:17 Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.
1Sa 3:12 "In that day I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
1Sa 3:13 "For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them.
1Sa 3:14 "Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."
Heb 12:7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Heb 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?
Heb 12:10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.
Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Eph 6:2 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),
Eph 6:3 SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.
Eph 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Col 3:20 Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
