GOP Sen. Threatens To Block School Lunch Program Unless Schools Can Discriminate Against Trans Kids

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall has threatened to block a bipartisan effort to fund school lunch programs because of a Biden administration policy banning discrimination against LGBTQ+ students in any program that receives federal nutrition money, which includes most school lunch programs.

The guidance, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), requires school administrators to submit policies for combating discrimination against LGBTQ+ students.

The editorial board of The Kansas City Starrepudiated Marshall, writing that "Taking food out of the mouths of poor and hungry children would represent a new low for heartless Republicans like Roger Marshall."

The board stressed that the discrimination Marshall is sanctioning is "wrong," adding that "Blocking a program that feeds children" is detestable. Doing it for political reasons is disgusting."

1. Typical Republican politician of today: punish hungry LGBTQ+ students, not because they may

personally disapprove of them, but because they want to score points with the extremist rightwing religionists who hate LGBTQ+ people.

2. So many Republicans these days find NAZI attractive.

They can all go to hell.

3. It offends the christofascists terribly when someone tries to stop them from punishing the "other".

4. They don't want to fund school lunches to begin with

After all, we're talking about the party that loves to scream "PROTECT CHILDREN!" when it comes to banning abortion or bullying LGBTQ's. But when it comes time to actual protect them or fund programs? Naw, not interested. We don't have the money. We're not a commie socialist nation. They can pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

So, no. This is hardly a Republican priority. If it were, this would've been done a long time ago.

Fortunately for them, the perfect excuse fell into their laps... LGBTQ's! Now they'll vote no on this because, damnit, they're being canceled and oppressed and silenced, and losing their "god"-given right to be bigots. This lets them kill two birds with one stone - terrorizing LGBTQ's and starving children.

Of course it's disgusting. "Senator" Marshitt is disgusting. He's a Republiqan. It's impossible to be one without being disgusting and soulless.

5. Republicans don't want to feed children

But a fetus needs to be protected.

The disconnect boggles my mind.

6. I really believe that this "expletive deleted"

sees himself as a contender for Most Ignorant Republican in Congress. If he could get the coverage; and it seems he is increasing his media profile, I think he could make a serious bid for the position.

7. They're just trying to out-cruel each other at this point.

It's like they're having some sort of contest to see who is the meanest, most sadistic asshole. Bunch of fucking sick-os.
