CHICAGO – The Chicago Tribune reports that “20 principals and assistant principals are among 26 current and former Chicago Public Schools employees who provided false income information on applications to get their children into the federal free or reduced-price lunch program.”

The $11 billion federal program gives free school lunches to children of four-member families with an income less than $29,055. Reduced lunches are given to families that earn less $41,348. The program is essentially run on the honor system, meaning that unscrupulous adults can pilfer the program at will.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

A kid on my son's football team gets free lunches and his parents drive a Porsche Cayenne and an Escalade. The kid also has a different pair of Okleys every time I see him.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

[sarcasm]Certainly his good fortune as well as his family's must be the result of donations from the 1% who feel sorry for an impoverished family that is struggling to get by from day to day in our depressed economy. It's all Bush's fault, we can't expect poor people to use public transportation or work to earn their entitlements.[/sarcasm]
