Ohio Mom Furious as Trump Administration Federal Grant Oversight Kills Local School Lunch Program: "Where's the Common Sense?"
So let me get this straight, folks. Our district just got word that our free lunch program for low-income kids is on hold because the Trump administration federal grant oversight now requires a "detailed audit of every single ingredient" before funding is released. The paper-pushers in Washington want to know exactly how many organic carrots vs. non-organic carrots we're buying. Seriously? My neighbor's kid was counting on that meal, and now they're packing a bag of chips because the school can't afford the red tape.
This is what happens when you let bureaucrats who've never run a kitchen decide how to "protect" taxpayer money. The common sense approach would be: audit after the fact if there's a problem, not force every rural school to hire a full-time paperwork ninja before they can feed a hungry child. I'm all for accountability, but this is just power-tripping nonsense. End rant.
