Stop govt spending
 

There is no reason why taxpayers should pay for breakfast of someone else’s child. The  responsibility is to child’s guardian and/or parent(s) job. You are taking away the power of the family foundations. This is irresponsible and not even fair.

End Virginia Public Education K-12 Free School Breakfast Programs
 

Hi, 

The Free School Breakfast Programs were introduced primarily to prop up illegal alien immigrant families/children. 

As recent news from Minnesota shows, certain programs have a high propensity for abuse of taxpayer resources, and alleged fraud upon the American Citizen and State Citizen Taxpayers and legal voters.

As illegal alien parents are repatriated to their respective homelands, they have the right and moral and ethical duties and obligations to repatriate with them all of their illegal alien immigrant children. 

Virginia should exercise caution by ENDING the free school breakfast programs, and put the savings directly towards teacher, bus driver, janitorial and food service workers by earmarking the savings for the purposes indicated to help make Virginia Public K-12 Education at least good again. 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide commentary.

The School Breakfasts Are Nasty Anyhow
 

K-12 Public Education is to Educate. 

School Breakfasts take away from seat time and learning engagement.

We don't want to foot the bill for feeding illegal alien kids while American Citizen children are going hungry and disabled veterans are out in the streets.
