Georgia Congressman says students should have to sweep the floor to get a free lunch at school

Source - A Georgia congressman defended himself Friday after being criticized for suggesting that students who receive free school lunches should have to work for them. At a local republican party meeting this past weekend, Republican representative Jack Kingston said that kids could pay 5 or 10 cents “…to instill in them that there is, in fact, no such thing as a free lunch.”
He then went on to suggest they sweep floors in return for the meals they receive as part of the federal school lunch program.


Holy shit dude. Fuck child labor laws right? But I'm pretty sure the whole point of having free public education is so that children, you know the future of civilization, get educated and don't have to grow up and blog 40 hours a week. And part of that is giving them a free lunch. You think I liked school when I was a kid? You were sticking me in hell for 8 hours. What are you going to do, keep me after class to take out the trash? The least you can do is give me a thirty minute break to stuff my face with lukewarm tater tots. Sweep the floor my ass. 

Except on rectangle pizza day. I would have swept the floor for lunch that day.
