Sadly, The Pig did a similar meme back in April, about a school in Attleboro, MA. This time, it's about a school district in New Jersey, where Gov. Christie made cuts to school funding totaling up to $5.1 billion. As with Attleboro, Willingboro will withhold meals from students unable to pay, and the meals will be discarded.
RELATED STORY: Teachers on average spend $300 of their own money per year to feed hungry kids in their classrooms. Source:

He is a nasty one alright.
Typical GOPer. I got mine, screw the rest of you. NJ was saved due to the action of our President. NOT Christie.

(297,123 posts)3. It's mind blowing. Vote for the guy who's
making life more difficult for you because.. not sure why. Guess I'd have to live in NJ to understand that one.
Mahalo for the snip from Carole King's "You've Got a Friend", she~
