There is a talk show on local AM morning radio here that really brings out the hateful Trumpsters. I never listen to it, but....
I was in my car and searching for something else and by mistake came upon this fouling of the airwaves. They were talking about LeBron James. This guy on the phone -- I couldn't believe my ears -- was saying how LeBron's new school in Akron was the most terrible thing for our country .... because .... kids that get chosen to go there will get everything for free ..... breakfasts and lunch, books, computers, backpacks, school supplies, food pantry for the family, a bike, etc. etc. And all that does is teach them that everything in life should be free and that you don't need to work for anything because there's always some way to get it for free. And that makes them grow up into entitled adults!
I am so appalled that anyone could put this kind of spin on LeBron's school. I don't even know if I'd have been able to call in the show and rebut this fool, I was so angry and rattled.

(16,646 posts)The guy ever heard of public schools?
I guess he thinks that public schools shouldn't be providing all the extras that LeBron's school does .... although more and more of them in this area DO have food pantries. And the wingnuts complain about that, too! "These people have all these kids and just let the schools feed them, so they don't have to bother ... now they expect them to send food home for the whole family, too...." I hear this from wingnut relatives too. It's disgusting. I always say I'd rather my tax dollars go towards helping poor people than go towards another war. That usually shuts them down.

They should start working in a Trump coal mine at age 6, save their income, and pay their own way through school later.
