Make school meals free for all children, hunger has no place in a classroom

The argument that parents would have to provide lunch if kids weren’t in school is ridiculous, school is mandatory, and always has been. Many families just about make ends meet, disqualified from free meals but still struggling. This takes away money from vital things like extracurricular activities that help children thrive. Meanwhile, paedophiles, murderers, and criminals get free meals without question. England must stop failing its children. Food in school should be a right, not a privilege.
